Encourage a woman you know to get a checkup (or get one yourself)

Today's Daily Challenge is to get a checkup at the doctor or to encourage someone you know to do so. I do this every year in March since my insurance covers a wellness exam annually. They're not my favorite thing to do as most women would agree, but a necessary evil. And, those exams can save your life. My aunt discovered a lump in her breast at one such exam. It was breast cancer, but they caught it very early. She decided to have a double mastectomy in order to prevent any recurrence. Had she not caught the lump who knows what could have happened? I'm very thankful she was good about getting checked out yearly.
