Yeah like I was saying! Regular screening mammograms do not work on dense breasts (read breasts with lots of tissue and little slack or sag) and this is why a better, more thorough test needs to become the standard---and one shouldn't have to fight so hard to get a sonogram or a digital mammogram or better. Certainly I don't believe in discouraging self-exams considering I found both my lumps--one in 2007 which was a cyst and THE BIG ONE in June of this year that a mammogran magically missed one month prior! Let's go people--it's the second leading cause of death in this country:
