Hi Joe,

I was 58 years old, when I found my lump while in the shower. I was never good at self exams. This was just a long, slow shower and there it was. Saw my OBGYN the next day, she felt it too. She sent me straight for a MRI. I was at an imagining clinic who could then do the ultra sound and the biopsy. It was a whirlwind of a day. Routine mamos every year. Mamo 11 months earlier had never found it. Count on yourself and believe.

Hugs to you and everyone on this site.
