I faithfully went for mammograms since the age of 40. Divorce got me off track, and I missed it in 2005. I got back into synch in May 2006 (at 54) and was surprised to be sent paperwork requesting that a repeat mammo be done. I had previously taught breast self examination clinics and felt quite sure that “this is just my usual lumpiness.” But it took me two days to find that 1.1 cm tumor – even after I knew EXACTLY where it was! After finishing chemotherapy, I have 1 inch of hair and a granddaughter to grow old with.
