“I hoped that by putting the post up, it might help at least one person.”
Kylie Armstrong, a 45-year-old textile designer in Melbourne, Australia, told BuzzFeed News that she cried when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in February.

It was a "huge shock," she said.
Breast cancer does not run in her family and she didn't feel a lump anywhere leading up to the diagnosis.
She did, however, notice a cluster of dimples on her right breast.

"I wasn't overly concerned but thought I should probably get it checked out as it was different to normal," she said.
She saw her doctor the day after she noticed the ripples. The doctor couldn't feel a lump but agreed that it looked abnormal and sent Armstrong to get a mammogram and ultrasound.
The tests showed Armstrong had breast cancer.
