Hi, Mine was at the 12 o'clock position, but inner upper quadrant, left side, i am right handed, it is the side I sleep on most, however I am a hairdresser, and I use my left hand quite a bit more than I realized. When I went back to work after surgery, I didn't realize how much I used that hand, I would say equally while I am at work.....

mine lower outer left side I am right handed, but in my case it seems to be linked to previous breast radiation and lymphoma tumor - that was the most affected part

Right breast, tumor at midline between outer upper and outer lower quadrants, deep enough to be non palpable, 2 cm. Second, closer to center on the chest wall, .5 cm. Sleep on both sides, but start on right. Right handed. Fascinating data! Thanks for collecting!

It seems to have more to do with more tissue being in that quadrant.

Mine is right, 10:00 o'clock.

Mine was lower right. My doctor told me breast cancer never happens in the lower quadrants and to not be concerned about changes is breast there. I ignored a thickening sensation for several years.

Upper inner quadrant, right breast. I sleep on my stomach and am right-handed.

In the book, The Complete Natural Medicine Guide to Breast Cancer, by Sat Dharam Kaur, there is a sidebar under the Resolving Conflict chapter that says right-handed patients who had a shock to their mother-child relationship might manifest a tumor in the left breast. Right handed patients with partner conflicts may manifest a tumor in the right side.

(I had a devastating divorce about ten years before my tumor was found, so I line up with that.)

Lower outer quadrant, right side, DCIS and palpable 2.6cm IDC. Sleep on left side, right handed. I feel that I would eventually have had bi-lat disease based on ADH and ALH found in left breast at BMX.
