Personal opinion
Breast checks are a load of old bollocks
If I can pick up a significant lump then theres no point in running for
the boat cos I've missed it.
...and yes I agree re a false sense of security when *whoever* does it
(including breast surgeon)
Why pretend we can achieve/prevent something that we cannot.
