Booby Wall: Touch. Look. Check.

You're a rarity if you haven't been touched in some way by someone that has, or has had breast cancer.

With breast cancer being one of the leading causes of death in young women, it's no secret that we need to be taking the time to check our breast for changes. Unfortunately, some of us, or maybe alot of us, are still confused about what exactly we should be looking for.

According to advice at the booby wall, it's important to at least be familiar with your breasts, so you will be more apt to notice any unusual changes.

The website has a name for what your breasts need, TLC, which is an easy acronym to remember when checking your breasts:

Touch your breasts, feel for anything unusual

Look for changes, be familiar with your breast shape and texture

Check for anything unusual, talk to your doctor if you have concerns

Interestingly, the reason this site is called the Booby Wall is because there's a place for women to upload a picture of their breast(s), clothed or otherwise. You can also dedicate a message to someone.

Once in the Booby Wall area, if you run your mouse over the pics, you will see the dedications and messages.

Not your typical site to be sure, but for a good cause nonetheless...

Figuring it out as I go,
