[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted not so much because I like Olivia, but because it’s so unsettling how many people I know who have had a normal mammogram just to end up with breast cancer within a few months. It’s make you feel like the standard screening just isn’t effective.[/quote] This happened to my aunt. Normal mammogram and just a few months later, diagnosed with breast cancer. I was surprised to learn that 20-30% of women have breast cancers missed by mammograms. I know it's a screening and not a diagnostic test, but that still seemed like a rather high number to me. [/quote] I’m not sure about those stats, but mammograms don’t screen as well for younger still menstruating women with dense breast tissue. It’s still better than nothing, especially if you get one every year and the mammograms can be compared.[/quote]
