Reply to comment by morethanababymaker in Any type of hormonal contraceptive may increase risk of breast cancer: according to an analysis of data by researchers at Oxford, progestogen-only hormonal contraceptives may increase breast cancer risk by 20-30%; the use of combined contraceptives may also slightly increase breast cancer risk. by aiaaidan

Manual checks don't work. I am a metastatic breast cancer patient and the tumors were very tiny and undetectable manually. They had already spread to my lymph nodes when cancer was detected with ultrasound and mammogram after experiencing pain.

How did you find yours? I'm too young for insurance to pay for a mammogram.

I had pain and requested an ultrasound.
