I think this new guideline is just a load of crap. I guess by the new guideline I would have never known that the lump in my breast was there because you are not supposed to do your SBE. You know young women (I was 32 at diag.) do not get breast cancer (dripping with sarcasm). I hope the people who came up with it NEVER have someone in their family diagnosed earlier than 50. I have avoided the news because it makes my blood boil.
