Do You Examine Yourself for Cancer?

[Flavus Aquila]

There's a lot of material around encouraging people to examine themselves for cancer:

Women, to check their breasts for lumps. Men to check their testicles for lumps, and to watch for signs of prostate cancer. Everyone, to check for swollen painless lymph nodes and melanoma... plus a whole raft of other symptoms to keep an eye out for.

Does anyone actually examine themselves?

..
Once in a blue moon, I'll check myself in the shower and my skin for moles in the mirror... But it could be months, or years between my remembering. (Mental note to put a recurring reminder in my Google calendar).

yes. everyday. im paranoid over these things because all my aunts and uncles from my father's side died from cancer.. my mother's side got the liver cancer.. im also very cautious with what i eat/drink.. and i'm not just paranoid over cancer, i also check everything else.. im hypochondriac heh i'm like a walking pharmacy

i try as much as possible not to google things and read online as i go straight to the doctor and insist there's something wrong with me..

i should probably go have my brain checked instead

Everyday I check myself for @Flavus Aquila, but I wake up from my nightmare relieved that it's just a metaphor.

It would be very strange indeed to have Flavus as an alter eagle growing somewhere o.o

After all these years, I'm finally starting to grow on you.

I just want to make you some herbal tea, block Web MD from your internet, and hand you a magic button that will free you from worry and overthinking.

Alas, all I can do is: :tacklehug:.

No but I wear tight pants in hopes of cutting off the blood supply to any cancers. So far it's working.

I'm always looking. I'm always feeling.

I also go to my primary doctor and gynecologist annually where more looking and feeling take place.
