[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't worry much about it. Lots of women have dense breasts and just get mammograms. The risk of missing a tumor is quite low. From this point on, they will be looking for changes from one mammogram image to another. Research is also showing that while cancers can be detected earlier with mammogram, the death rates have not changed, meaning those that are aggressive will continue to be aggressive (i.e. come back, etc). Just do a monthly check and report any lumps. My doc said they are distinctive as they often feel like a rooted pebble, rather than a round, rubbery movable ball, which is more likely to be a cyst.[/quote] Also be aware of a thickening of the breast or fullness in one part of the breast. I thought breast cancer would appear as a lump. Recently diagnosed and there was no lump.[/quote]
