Wow, what a powerful thread!
I found my own lump. But i wasn't doing a BSE. And i had just been to the gyno a couple of weeks prior, and she didn't find it.
I was just poking around. My mammo was scheduled 2 weeks after my find. That's my story.
But to even suggest that BSE's are not any good will cause more harm than good. It's a ridiculous article.
