My daughter found her own lump at age 34, in 1994. She had tried to get a Mammogram just for a base, but was refused because she was under 40. It turned out to be a very aggressive form of cancer and even with chemotherapy, she passed away at 35, in 1995. The next year, 1996, after many yearly Mammograms that showed no problems, I found a lump in my left breast. It was a rare form, malignant but contained, and a mastectomy was performed. I did not opt for reconstruction, and am doing well with a home-made prosthesis that works well enough for me. I have been blessed with good health now for 13 years. I'm a strong supporter of regular Mammograms.
