1.5 to 2 mm is so tiny that it's impressive that it was detected. The cancer I had was estimated at 5 mm by mammo and ultrasound. And totally undetectable by physical exam. Thanks to the increases in precision technology that are saving lives.

Oh boy. I think I had that really wrong. Not mm, cm. Bit of a difference 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Yes I’m also told hard to detect—but I had an egg-sized lump and was told “nothing to worry about”—until 15 months later when I was diagnosed! Just beginning long journey…letrozole, to shrink tumor then surgery. Hoping for lumpectomy instead of mastectomy. Angry that no one followed up sooner on this lump since I had lumpectomy on opposite breast 24 years ago! Healthcare is broken…
