Cancer doesn't discriminate. I could probably fall into the negatives size-wise and at 24 I had my first lumpectomy (which was cancer, but did NOT spread).

Also, they make machines that are a little more friendly for the less-than-blessed ladies, however, the accuracy isn't as high and it's really painful (requires a lot of pulling ). An ultrasound is what I have done now to monitor mine, the poor lil fellers just don't have the elasticity to work well with the regular machines.

It's quite difficult having smaller hooties to feel lumps as I thought mine was one of my ribs (it fell between them). I have to exam myself in various awkward positions; standing up, laying on back, laying on left side, laying on right, etc.

Anyway, check the boobies cancer doesn't seem to care about their size!!


Oh, also - the one I had removed did NOT show up on a mammogram, it was my gyn who did confirm the lump and ordered an ultrasound after seeing the mammogram was clear (as he was sure it was not clear).
