in march 2012. i found my lump trying on a new bra, went to Dr's on 2nd march 2012, she sent me for a mammogram ultrasound and biopsy all in the one day on 6th march... got dreaded phone call on 7th march 2012 that I had a 1.2 cm cancerous lump (the mammogram results showed nothing at all) I'm so glad my dr booked me in for ultrasound and biopsy as well....I went to see a breast specialist in Adelaide 400 km away on the 9th of march .... he had booked me in to have a bone scan,and chest X-ray .... He also booked me in for a lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy which I had on march 20th and I got my results 23rd march, my margins were clear and so was the sentinel node biopsy ( Big sigh of relief ) the cancer was hormone positive he got me to have 6 weeks of radiotherapy which I started 7th may and finished 21st June. and I started taking tamoxifen in July 2012
