Thank you. Your comment is excellent as well. It means a lot to have a cancer survivor comment on this post! I’m especially glad you mentioned that tumors can’t always be felt. Neither of the masses in my breast were identified on manipulation. In fact, before this last time, I had just had a check up and the doctor did a breast exam.

Your blog on mammagrams is excellent! You give an accurage account of what goes on during a biopsy and allay a lot of fears women have about this procedure.
13 years ago I saw my gynocologist on a matter of importance unrelated to breasts and after the exam he noticed that there was no information on a mammagram having been taken in the past. He questioned it and I told him I have never had a mammagram (I was 56 yrs. old at the time). He said it was probably a good idea to have one and keep the results on record for the future. Three days later I had one, three days after that I was notified to see a surgeon, there was questionable spot on the mammagram. The “questionable spot” turned out to be a malignant tumor on the left breast and one under my arm.” I caught it in time and am cancer free because of it. Keep stressing the importance of having this done and keep up the good blogs. By the way, no one should rely soley on breast manipulation; my tumors could not be felt.
