[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No history of breast cancer in my family and had no results every year until I got complacent in my late 40s and skipped about 4 years. By the time I went back, I had a tumor the size of an egg. I was lucky in that it turned out to be a very rare benign tumor called a PASH tumor (pseudo-angiomatous stromal hyperplasia) but I still had to have a surgical lumpectomy. Now I’m 58 and I skipped my ‘25 mammogram so I’m playing hooky again, but have had two NP office breast exams at least in between. If you’re covered for them, get them. [/quote] I cannot believe you were given the unbelievable grace and good fortune of coming through that experience unharmed, and you still “played hooky.” That’s absolutely a disgrace. Think of the women who weren’t so lucky. All they would have given to have had a second chance, and you’re throwing it away with both hands. [/quote]
