    Anointed commented on I'm only 32....invasive ductal...what  
    I'll start with my story....a few weeks after my 32 birthday...I found it, a lump in my left breast. It seemed to just appear. I mean it wasn't there before, not that I regularly checked or even checked at all. I thought I was too young for BC...I'd never thought about mammograms or even self examinations...that was my first misconception. I was doing my normal shower routine and it found it's way to my hand....that I'll count as my first blessing.
