I couldn't agree more with Mary Jo. Paying attention to your body is important.

I had a mammogram in 11/05 and nothing was noted on the report. I had a physical 7/06 and pointed out a small "bump" I had recently felt in my left breast, very close to the surface. My PCP said it was "nothing to be worried about" so I left it at that. Had my next mammogram (routine) in 1/07 and got THE CALL. The radiologist saw something in the left breast. He thought the "little bump" I felt was a cyst and wanted to aspirate it. I thought it was harmless as did he. Turns out it was IDC, 15mm in size, grade 3, HER2+.

I basically wasted 6 months of treatment time because I relied on my PCP to tell me to go see about the lump. If it feels different to you, have it checked out. If they want to keep an eye on it, tell them to do so in a jar on their desk!!!!!
