If I remember correctly, at the time the Aussie one was done just after Chrissie died and it was as a practical tribute from Australian singers to her. It was certainly quite powerful when it came out. Personally, Serena leaves me cold and I can't see the link between her and the song but as @kmakm says, if it works for others, it works.
Self-examination would not have worked for me, either. Even the GPs at Breastscreen weren't sure they could feel anything and they already had the suss mammogram to go by.
It won't help if there are no visible symptoms but maybe it's time for a campaign along the lines of the lemon picture. By that I mean, the other small visible changes that could indicate breast cancer. Many women are aware of what a lump could mean even if they choose to ignore it. However, that campaign has been so successful that I think most women think that it is the only sign of cancer until they find out the hard way @Giovanna_BCNA?
