Personal reflection

Thanks, Becky -- fascinating -- I hope the research on this continues. In comparing the mammogram I had at diagnosis with the mammogram I had after doing chemo, rads and just a couple of months on tamoxifen, my breast tissue was extremely dense at diagnosis and exactly the opposite after treatment. I had thought it was because of chemopause and the extreme change in hormonal levels.
