[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have dense breasts and have been asking for ultrasound for a decade because I hate mammograms so much but no one will ever approve them. I just skip the mammograms mostly because they cause so much pain. I noticed in the article that it said this type of breast cancer is typically very slow growing….is that the medical justification for not making this standard of care? Basically that it will show in a mammogram before it gets dangerous? [/quote] I wrote this in the other Olivia Munn post in the Health & Medicine forum but it got locked so I'm sharing again here. I just wanted to chime in for those who are worried they aren't wealthy enough for the proper screening. [b] I am a big fan of Herscan, which travels up and down the east coast doing affordable breast ultrasound screenings. I have dense breasts and have not always had doctors who were proactive with US screenings.[/b] My cancer was diagnosed via Herscan after a clear mammo and it was incredibly accurate (caught the cancer in 2 different quadrants). So I feel I need to do my part to advocate for ultrasounds for dense breasts, and Herscan if your insurance isn't covering it or your doctor won't order it. [/quote] thank you for sharing. sometimes beyond all the snipe and viper, DCUM comes through with gems such as this. much appreciative for this information. [/quote] +1 Thank you so much. I just signed up for one this fall in Charlotte. [/quote]
