Got the results from my tit test - all clear. My headlight inspection was fine. Boob scans showed no abnormalities.

I have gotten my tit test done. Yup. My boob scans are being checked. It was time for the ol' headlight inspection.

I keep seeing people I know online with bad and biopsy results, and I'm feeling a little guilty in an odd way. I had a dx of DCIS (Stage 0) in 2005 followed by lumpectomy and radiation, and 18 years of nothing worse than mammograms and some stiffness where tissue was cooked by the radiation.
In March a mammogram and biopsy came back annoying: same dx/same side. Bilateral 4/28 is healing extremely well and the gene scan came back clean, too. I wish all could be as lucky.

Yesterday I went for a mammogram. The only thing the operator of the machine didn't do was kick me. She shoved me into the machine and jerked my back , which still hurts and my sternum feels like someone hit me with a large hammer.

So I had my first . It wasn't uncomfortable at all! I was surprised! Plus, there was a cute animal poster on the wall I could look at during the super-quick exam. Yay!!!

Doctor pressed me about scheduling my first . I flat out told her no.

(It's been scheduled! Wish me luck.)

@TammyGentzel It’s staggering how little is understood about women’s bodies since science has historically prioritized men. And tragically, what IS known is communicated so poorly that it has cost countless lives. My hope is that as more learn about density’s impact on their risk for , that will save lives instead.

The annual is done. Does anyone else find it odd to wear a gown on half of one's body? Does anyone just say no thanks to the gown? I mean if we have one exposed why not two? 😛☀️🤣

FDA to require reports include breast density information

📌 Updated 🇺🇸 FDA regulations will require mammography facilities to notify patients about the density of their breasts.

📌Women with dense breasts are at higher risk for breast cancer, and dense tissue can make cancer harder to detect in mammograms.

📌About 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in her life, according to🇺🇸 CDC, and remains the best tool for screening and detection.

sets new guidelines: new rules will require providers nationwide to notify women if they have dense breast tissue and recommend that they consult with the doctor about whether they need additional screening.

providers will be required to inform women with that their may be difficult to interpret & suggest that they consult their doctors about need for additional tests. Supporters of FDA’s long-expected decision say the new standards will save lives by helping women learn about their breast density risks and potentially detect cancer earlier. Providers must implement the new regulations within 18 months, the agency said. washingtonpost.com/health/2023

I agree & urge everyone (inc men) to check their breasts regularly for lumps, or anything out of the ordinary.

I currently have one of my oldest friends undergoing chemo for breast cancer and another friend died about a year ago from breast cancer after years of remission and relapse.

So I just tried to book a and ultrasound, per the referral from my specialist breast surgeon, after my recent bout of recurrent mastitis, and finding new, worrying lumps and other issues.

Earliest I can get in? March 7th.

I live in a large, regional centre, it’s a hub for health care, and it’s not unusual for people to travel several hours to access services provided here. We’re obviously feeling the pinch.
