Are we starting some kind of group petition to send somewhere? I will sign.
I know several women under 40 in addition to some people on this board who were diagnosed with breast cancer.
I heard one comment on the news this morning about mammograms not being able to detect things under 1 cm and it could take years for tumors to grow to 1 cm.
Are women supposed to sit around and wait a few years for tumors to grow until they get to 1 cm, so they can be tested?
The comment also claimed that women can't find things smaller than 1 cm. Then how come I correctly found malignant tumors close to the surface of my breast skin that were only 1 or 2 mm? My fabulous dermatologist removed them after my oncologist refused to do anything about them. The pathology reports all came back positive for breast cancer.
The point should be to get rid of problems while they are still small if possible.
If mammograms can't detect small problems then researchers need to develop some kind of better testing method that can detect small problems instead of leaving thousands of women without methods of detecting breast cancer.
I lost respect for Dr. Susan Love.
