Tiina, My name is Melissa. I live in the states. I am now 33yrs. old. I am a breast cancer survivor of 3 yrs. and 6mths. My 2nd child was 3 mths. old at the time. I found the lump while I was making the bed. My right arm rubbed the outer side of my right breast while I was putting the sheet on the bed. I had a lumpectomy, and lymph node disection. All nodes were clean. Thank God! But because of my age, my doctors wanted to be safe. I had half a year of Chemo. and about 4 mths. of radiation(both once a mth.) No tamoxifine(said it would put me into early menopause) not good at my age. I just recently had another mamogram(have one every 6 mths.) and everything is well. Hope your doing well also. Looking forward to hearing from you in the future. God Bless, Melissa
