Not as early as I should have, due to a crazy life and a doctor who pawned me off on someone else since he couldn't find my cervix . . . but that's another story. It's been a bit longer than it should have been since my last mammogram - and this one was triggered because I found the lump.

Based on size, it is stage I. It might slide into stage II, if there are traces of it in my lymph nodes.
