sorry to bust anyones bubble but my mother was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer. she had a mammogram done 6 months prior that showed nothing.
the screening need to be done either at the same place or have the records transferred so that they can be compared from the previous screenings. comparing the 2 can detect a different type of breast cancer that is not picked up by mammograms.
lumps are detected but sheets of cancer is not. a woman needs to tell her doctor that the bra that used to fit is either too tight or too small now.
