[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another reason this is possible is that routine mammograms don't always catch Invasive Lobular Carcinoma (ILC), which makes up 10% of breast cancers and is difficult to find because it doesn't grow as a clump but instead as a spiderweb. I had years of clean mammograms until I didn't and an ultrasound found Stage 2 ILC. My doctor said it likely had been there for over five years and would not have been picked up on a routine mammogram. A 3D mammogram showed more but it was ultimately the ultrasound and MRI that truly identified it. I think people think that all BC shows the same way -- as a tumor or clump of cells -- but that's not true and ILC doesn't get the attention it deserves for its stealthiness.[/quote] op - so should we all be getting 3d mammos? an ultrasounds? how could someone go from NED to stage 4 in SIX MONTHS?![/quote]
