A member asked:
Is it possible to have breast cancer for ten years without knowing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely, but...: I guess a very tiny breast cancer could initially go undetected and grow over a 10 year time period into a larger mass that is then able to be felt on a physical examination.
