Hi Dinky, I'm glad a mammogram picked up your cancer early. Like you I had regular mammograms, but I fell into the 20% that don't show up on mammograms. I had a normal mammogram in August last year, and so went on to HRT. 3 months later I became concerned about an old previously scanned lumped. My Dr sent me to have an ultrasound and repeat mammogram if necessary. This old lump was nothing bad, just glandular tissue, however underneath they found a very small cyst like lump. 4mm. A biopsy showed invasive breast cancer. A repeat mammogram showed nothing suspicious at all. Surgery discovered a grade 3 tumour that was 21 mm, not the 4 mm they were after. This is why I had to have a second surgery, and why 2 months ago I chose to have a second mastectomy. I wasn't sure that I would ever be able to trust a mammogram again. Thanks for your info about the nipples. Love Chris xx
