Mammograms and ultrasounds
Mammograms and ultrasounds, preparation, what to expect, what happens to the results, the age to start, how often, keep good records.Mammograms and ultrasounds is not always captured especially in dense breast tumors and fibrous. You have to ask / demand an MRI.
See my story for 3 years:
I have 61 years and have at least 30 + normal mammograms. In fact, in January had a “normal” mammograms and ultrasounds. But I knew something was wrong because I have a mortar and inverted nipple on one breast. I feel pain in both breasts, and I’ve heard that breast cancer is not painful, so I am worried. Boy, was I wrong!
Because the dimpling and inverted nipple, they do an MRI. I was surprised to find that the chest has 4 “and 1.5″ tumor – basically, my chest full of two tumors. It is estimated I have a big lump of 15-20 years. Then he said he and dense fibrous breasts and that’s why all of a mammogram is normal.
Recently, my daughter told me 40 years to sue after mammograms and ultrasounds normal MRI. She discovered she has a 1 / 2 “lung? Therefore, if you know someone who is said to have a network of dense, fibrous breasts, saying that the request for an MRI to get a more accurate examination of their breasts. This can save thousands of lives per year!
