I found the lump myself. I have dense breasts. I had "clear" mammo 3 years before at age 35. They did not recommend another until 40. So when I found the lump at 38- the mammo did show the disease then. So a small tumor will not show up on a younger/ denser breasted person. But mammos, scans and self-breast exams are all we have right now. Since mammo is not invasive, I think it is a good idea to get one.
