Hi Linda
You are not alone. I for one had my first mammogram at 53 and all was good then. Ignore the reminder for /second one at 55 because it was good then and I didn't feel any different. In Jan this year every thing changed. I blamed a strong message Pressing me too hard on the bed caused my breast muscle to tense up in a lump and pain. My GP sent me for mammogram and ultra sound because he said it's not normal. I was sent for a biopsy the very next day and then was told 2 days later I had Her2 positive, grade 3 and tumour of about 5 cm It was too big for surgery so had chemo to shrink the size first. I had mastectomy and reconstruction in July and now in my last week of radiation. 10 months had passed and I am still learning about things.
I learned a lot here so keep checking the blog.
Take care.
