Hey Mantra -
I'm left handed, but the party's going on in my right breast. Happy to meet another lefty, though!

So far the Upper Outer Quadrant ranks highest...With the Left side just a little ahead of the right.

Left breast - upper inner quadrant IDC at 2 o'clock area close to chest wall & upper out quadrant DCIS at 9 o'clock deep and hard to get to with mammogram.

Right breast, upper outer quadrant and I am right handed....very interesting thread!! lisa

Ok, I'm here to throw a wrench in things! Mine is at 12:00 on the dot, straight up from the nipple. It sort of straddles the line between outer and inner. I don't know what they call that! It's in the left breast.
-
Thanks for your Stats.
Twinmom77 -If its on the line I have been putting it with the more popular side of the line.
