Re: Good Advice?

I was 37 when I noticed a lump. Also, I felt a heaviness in my breast when I was lying down at night. Mamo was clear but on a fluke my dr order an ultrasound which discovered a mass. By then my mass was 2.5 cm with 18 positive nodes. I would have not made it to 40 (for screening) if I hadn't discovered it myself.
