I also found a lump in my left breast but thought it was just swelling from my period....when the lump did not go away for 4 months I finally admitted to myself that this could be more....with no family history as I was adopted, I did see my doctor...as I was 46 at the time..I was never told I should have an annual mammogram. I was sent for a biopsy and was told it was nothing.....1 month later I was contacted by the "Breast Cancer Center" at my local hospital and told I needed a lumpectomy. Myself and my husband sat in the hospital and cried together...not sure of what was to come. I was one of the lucky ones it was not Cancer!!!!! But I will never put anything off again......Early detection ladies!! Don't wait!!!!
