Check with arms up infront of mirror ladies. Tamworth NSW
My mammograms are all up to date.
My last one was in May 2018.
It was the 6th October a Saturday evening as I stood in front of the mirror bare from the waist up and reached above my head to tie ...
I also found mine looking in the mirror one day. An indentation at the bottom of the breast where the breast joins the chest. I almost dismissed it as being caused by my bra but I made an appointment with my GP. She thought it was nothing but sent me for a mammogram and ultrasound, my first ever.
A lump that was barely palpable but the IDC had already spread to the lymph nodes and the breast was full of DCIS as well. Left mastectomy, chemo, radiation and hormone therapy. Almost six years later I am well, no sign of cancer and enjoying my life. It was a shock and treatment was a mix of good and bad times. Lots of support here when you need it. Take care and I hope that you are soon enjoying life again too. xxx
