Even though it wasn’t seen on mammogram and you even had a biopsy and its still didn’t show anything. Olivia Newton John: I didn’t feel well, I didn’t feel quite right and so I found lumps before and they’ve been benign but I went in for a check up and he felt--he felt something and so he said I’ll send you for a mammogram. It was--it didn’t show which is very common I believe, 1/3 of women it doesn’t show on the mammogram so he even did a biopsy, I was negative but I didn’t feel right and kind of encouraged more so he did surgical work and we found it. So you have to listen to your instincts too. Male: That’s what we talk about all the time, get to know your body and listen to your body and thank god you did.
