Like Kayvie and Kath I found my lump myself, between mammograms/USS, in the shower and only 6 months after being manually checked at a women's health clinic. It showed as a small black bruise and a tender lump underneath the skin as though I had bumped into something hard. My GP sent me for a core biopsy - they did 2 - and then had me walk immediately to the breast surgeon's office to make an appointment. 2 weeks later, after Easter break, I had a 2MX and the tumour was 3.5cm, Stage 2A, Grade 3 and aggressive. I am so grateful for their fast action. I was the last lemon - nothing showed apart from the bruise.
