I was diagnosed in January 2007 with my routine mammogram. I had advanced DCIS and had a mastectomy in April. I want to remind all women that not all breast cancers are a lump that you can feel. DCIS is in the milk ducts and can usually only be seen on mammogram or MRI in the early stages. I encourage everyone to get their yearly mammogram. My diagnosis would have been worse if I had missed my yearly check up.
