DX at age 58, just 11 months earlier I had a clear mammo. Found my own lump...multifocal lumps...largest 3.2cm. GYN agreed it was palpable.she sent me directly from her office to the best imaging place and they did it all in that same day. First double breast MRI, then ultra sound on just the palpable side, then a needle biopsy...and then the bad news. For me it was one stop shopping. But I am fine now.
