After years of negative biopsies, cyst aspirations, and what my doc called "a busy breast" it finally didn't end up negative. My breast suddenly got red and my roommate noticed it. I would have ignored it because when I did BSE all I felt was lumps, so that never alarmed me. I am glad I acted quickly. At 7 mm my lump was small, no lymph node involvement. But HER2 positive. So double mastectomy, reconstruction, and six horrible months of chemo and it is finally behind me. I am glad I had cancer. Surviving treatment has completely reset my priorities and my baseline for happiness. Hang in there ladies.
