Very true QDM. The evidence and research is clear. However, as an awareness raising exercise breast self examination will at least get them into their GPs office, so it has some merit, whereas they may well have not done so otherwise. Regardless, regular breast screening has the the best outcome.
In terms of ronby's experience though, thank goodness his sister had the presence of mind to alert her husband to a problem, and of course that raised the awareness of the other males' in the family.
Regardless of the statistics, the evidence is there also for the importance of "hope" in recovery.
Thanks for your medical opinion.
Cheers
