My wife had two surgeries a month ago, and has just started chemo. No symptoms. A mammogram a year ago showed a "suspicious" area, so they had her come back in six months. No changes, so they said nothing to worry about. Six months later it had changed and they biopsied it. Ended up removing two tumors plus the lymph nodes on that side. They said that based on the growth rate of cancers it started growing about seven years ago.

My mother-in-law had two breasts removed. She had no pain or symptoms but both cancers were caught in routine mammograms. That was a good 15 years ago and she is doing fine. She didn't have radiation or chemotherapy.

A small, painless lump.

My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer about 15 years ago. She had had a normal mammogram about 8 months earlier. She found a small lump when she was taking a shower. It was hard and immobile (cysts or benign tumors tend to be soft/rubbery and mobile). She had a lumpectomy, chemo, and radiation. Her surgeon looked at the old mammogram films to see if the tumor had been there at that point. It hadn't, so they concluded it was a quick-growing tumor. Best wishes!
