WEBVTT - MINI: Britt shares her personal Breast Check experience 🎗

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.639
<v Speaker 1>Hey, guys, it is the first of the month today,

0:00:02.680 --> 0:00:05.320
<v Speaker 1>which means it is breast check Day, something that we've

0:00:05.320 --> 0:00:08.200
<v Speaker 1>started in our own little family to bring awareness to

0:00:08.600 --> 0:00:10.640
<v Speaker 1>get you guys that are listening to pay attention to

0:00:10.680 --> 0:00:13.280
<v Speaker 1>your own bodies. But today I want to talk a

0:00:13.280 --> 0:00:16.680
<v Speaker 1>little bit about my own breast. I was waiting for

0:00:16.720 --> 0:00:19.239
<v Speaker 1>some people to get excited about that.

0:00:18.160 --> 0:00:20.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm joking.

0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:21.959
<v Speaker 3>This is something that's serious, though, Britt, And now we

0:00:22.000 --> 0:00:23.440
<v Speaker 3>also know how serious it's been for you.

0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, So let me just set this up.

0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:30.040
<v Speaker 1>I have started since just particularly since we've been talking

0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:31.600
<v Speaker 1>about it more here as well, I've started to do

0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:34.840
<v Speaker 1>my own breast checks constantly, and a couple of months ago,

0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:37.640
<v Speaker 1>and I'm ashamed to say months, but a couple months ago,

0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:41.239
<v Speaker 1>I felt this lump in my breast, in my left breast,

0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:43.400
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, that's weird, but you know, breasts

0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:45.800
<v Speaker 1>are so fatty and lumpy anyway, so I was like,

0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:48.640
<v Speaker 1>it's probably nothing. Start on it for a little while,

0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:50.920
<v Speaker 1>and then felt it again a couple of weeks later,

0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:53.320
<v Speaker 1>and kept feeling it, but then I was touching it

0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:56.680
<v Speaker 1>so much that it started to hurt. And then I

0:00:56.680 --> 0:00:58.640
<v Speaker 1>couldn't figure out if I was getting breast pain or

0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:01.040
<v Speaker 1>if I was getting pain from like you said.

0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:02.160
<v Speaker 4>That to us too here in the studio.

0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:05.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And it's just so annoying because I advocate for,

0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:07.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, looking after your own health all the time.

0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:11.640
<v Speaker 1>I worked at a hospital for thirteen years. I know how

0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:13.840
<v Speaker 1>important it is. Yet I just kept putting it off.

0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:16.840
<v Speaker 1>And I went and stayed over with a friend in

0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:19.240
<v Speaker 1>another city and it just came up in conversation and

0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:21.160
<v Speaker 1>she's like, well, have you had your boobs checked yet?

0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:22.840
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, no, I haven't. I need to

0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:24.280
<v Speaker 1>get to it. She's like, how long's it been there.

0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:26.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm like a couple of months. She was like, you

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:28.279
<v Speaker 1>need to go and get that check, like you should

0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:31.319
<v Speaker 1>know better. And she's like, I'm gonna message you every

0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:34.320
<v Speaker 1>single day until you get it. Anyway, bless her, she did,

0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:36.480
<v Speaker 1>and it took me another week or so. She messaged

0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:38.240
<v Speaker 1>me every day and I said, no, I haven't checked yet,

0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:40.920
<v Speaker 1>and I haven't checked. Finally, purely because of her, I

0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:42.959
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh my god, I'll go and get it checked.

0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:45.800
<v Speaker 1>So I went and got it checked at the GP

0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:49.560
<v Speaker 1>specialist woman's doctor like women's health doctor.

0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:53.680
<v Speaker 2>And immediately she was like oh, yes, I can feel that.

0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:55.240
<v Speaker 1>And she's like, I can actually feel some stuff on

0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:57.160
<v Speaker 1>the other side as well, like on the other boob,

0:01:57.920 --> 0:01:59.840
<v Speaker 1>and I was like wow, okay, She's like, you need

0:01:59.880 --> 0:02:01.640
<v Speaker 1>to go and get it checked and I was like sure,

0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:03.880
<v Speaker 1>and she was like now, and I don't want anyone

0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:05.160
<v Speaker 1>to think that I have breast cancer.

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:06.560
<v Speaker 2>I do not, but you think that.

0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:08.160
<v Speaker 1>You always think it's not gonna happen to you, so

0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:10.280
<v Speaker 1>you don't put the urgency on it. So I went

0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:14.400
<v Speaker 1>straight to get the ultrasound, and long story short, I'm

0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:19.040
<v Speaker 1>absolutely riddled with cysts in both breasts, like so many cysts,

0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:21.040
<v Speaker 1>and I had to wait a few days to find

0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:22.920
<v Speaker 1>out if anything was going to be nasty in there

0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:25.120
<v Speaker 1>or if there's anything hiding because there were so many

0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:28.280
<v Speaker 1>cysts that they can cover if there's anything.

0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:29.200
<v Speaker 2>Bad in the tissue.

0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:31.480
<v Speaker 1>So it was like a really scary couple of days,

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:34.600
<v Speaker 1>being like, I'm thirty seven. There's definitely been things that

0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:36.680
<v Speaker 1>I've felt my breast, they've seen them, and those couple

0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:38.040
<v Speaker 1>of days waiting was really scary.

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:39.640
<v Speaker 2>And I'm very grateful to say.

0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:42.720
<v Speaker 1>It came back as all normal cysts, but now I

0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:45.560
<v Speaker 1>have to get checked every single twelve months because things

0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:48.040
<v Speaker 1>can change very drastically.

0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:49.760
<v Speaker 3>But also like it's one of those things where if

0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:51.880
<v Speaker 3>you don't advocate for your own health, I mean, you're

0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:54.040
<v Speaker 3>so lucky that you had a friend who reminded you

0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:56.880
<v Speaker 3>every day and persisted, But not everybody has that person

0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:58.720
<v Speaker 3>in their life. And if you're not going to take

0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 3>responsibility for your own health, if you're not going to

0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:03.320
<v Speaker 3>book the appointment for that thing that's been niggling, that

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:05.520
<v Speaker 3>you've been concerned about, or that you noticed what there

0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:07.680
<v Speaker 3>was a change with, like that's on you.

0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:10.200
<v Speaker 2>You have to do those things. And we spoke about

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:10.880
<v Speaker 2>it earlier in the year.

0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:14.440
<v Speaker 3>My stepdaddy passed away from prostate cancer and he hit

0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:17.400
<v Speaker 3>there were scigns for so long, Yeah, and he ignored

0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:20.200
<v Speaker 3>going and getting those screening tests done. And I mean,

0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:21.880
<v Speaker 3>that's just one thing you don't ever want to live

0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:24.320
<v Speaker 3>with the regret that you waited too long because you're

0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:27.160
<v Speaker 3>too busy or other things took priority. If there is

0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:29.280
<v Speaker 3>something to be reminded about from this, it's it's to

0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:31.760
<v Speaker 3>check your breast and if you've something changes, go and

0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:33.040
<v Speaker 3>booking your health screening.

0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:35.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, that's what I want to say, because you

0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:37.760
<v Speaker 1>think that you're wasting people's time, in doctor's time.

0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:39.120
<v Speaker 2>But you're absolutely not.

0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:42.240
<v Speaker 1>And I don't want to be dramatic, but the difference

0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:44.960
<v Speaker 1>in a couple of months. If mine was nasty, I

0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:47.240
<v Speaker 1>put that off for nearly three months. Like if that

0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:49.120
<v Speaker 1>was nasty, that would have become nasty.

0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:50.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:52.240
<v Speaker 1>So if you're in the car right now, if you're

0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.760
<v Speaker 1>at home, grab your breast, have a feel, have a poke.

0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:55.720
<v Speaker 4>Grab men too.

0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Men can happen to me as well.

0:03:57.320 --> 0:03:59.240
<v Speaker 3>Let it be the first of every month. Let it

0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:00.720
<v Speaker 3>be the day that you mind yourself, put it in

0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:02.320
<v Speaker 3>your calendar to check your breast.

0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:05.200
<v Speaker 4>Yep, agreed, all right, Next on a liner, note not

0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.080
<v Speaker 4>that boobs aren't light, because.

0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:10.520
<v Speaker 3>They're very actually, unless you breastfed a couple of kids

0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:12.240
<v Speaker 3>and then feel bad.

0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:14.560
<v Speaker 4>Break I've come to Yeah, actually, should I compare the pair?

0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:18.560
<v Speaker 2>No's no, thank you, that's nothing. Okay, don't shame me.

0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:20.599
<v Speaker 2>You're all happy to talk about boob Wait. I would

0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:22.520
<v Speaker 2>like to speak to HR now that you've brought that up.

0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:23.159
<v Speaker 3>We have a show.

0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:25.520
<v Speaker 2>We have to have HR here, Mitch. What's doing break?

0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:25.839
<v Speaker 1>You know what?

0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:26.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't know?

0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:27.000
<v Speaker 3>Who know? I do know?

0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:30.680
<v Speaker 4>Exactly when did you get revenge on someone you work with.

0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:33.960
<v Speaker 4>We've all worked in, you know, customer facing jobs and

0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:37.239
<v Speaker 4>we've all had those annoying customers or coworkers that really

0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:39.480
<v Speaker 4>get under your skin. And it's the little moments that

0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:40.360
<v Speaker 4>you can take to.

0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:42.719
<v Speaker 2>Get back at them. It's the petty stuff, so sweet.

0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:44.120
<v Speaker 4>And there's a story that's happen in Australia that you're

0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:45.440
