(cancer found at 50, doctor thinks it had been growing many years, since early 40s. I myself didn't get mammograms and now have many years of treatment ahead of me, at increased cost to the insurance co)

Diagnosed with DCIS as a result of my 1st mammogram at age 50 following a previous benign lump. I call it my "lucky lump".

AnnNYC, diagnosed at age 54 -- lump discovered through breast self exam was never visible on mammogram. Multiple screening modalities are needed, for women of all ages.
