Re: How was your HER2 BC first found?

Here's a "funny" story...I was raising a service dog puppy and was taking him out in the middle of the night. As I was making my way back to the bedroom in the dark, I ran into the door jam. Got a bruise and a bump that was still there a week later. Went to the family doctor, sent for mammogram, moved to the next room for an ultrasound...at the surgeon's office within 3 days, thanks to calls from the family doc as the mammogram place had me scheduled to "come back" in about 3 weeks. 20/20 hindsight, it had hurt for a long time prior to sleep on my stomach because of "hardness" in my breast. I'm thinking we don't see the forest for the trees. Thank God for the puppy and for my family doctor who got me to the surgeon within days, who has a waiting list months long. God was working!
