I was 37 at dx. I never had a mammo before. I had done SBE frequently but at my annual exam the doctor on a hunch felt that my right breast felt a little more lumpy. She scheduled a mammo which came out clear. She then pursued it further and scheduled a ultrasound and there it was; a 2.5 cm tumor. The worse of it was that it was already locally advanced with 18 involved nodes. Talk about a shock. I think that there really needs to be better screening for younger women.
