I too found the lump myself. My primary care physican sent me for a diagnostic mamo. Had the mamo and then sono, after which the tech left the room and came back with the radiology doctor. He told me that there was a suspicious area on my breast and said that I would probably need a biopsy. He also said that he was going to call my primary care physican that same day. My primary care doc called me within 3 hours and told me that I would have to see a surgeon as there was a "very high chance" I had breast cancer. He referred me to a surgeon and I had the biopsy and it was indeed stage III ductal cancer. My mamo was Oct 2005 and I am undergoing chemo before surgery. I am now half way finished with the chemo and the tumor is shrinking.
