That was another question of mine about having mammograms done when you get CT/PET scans done so often. Some Oncologist say mammograms aren't necessary. I asked mine and he recommended me doing them every year. I go in to see my gyn in Ocotober. The thought of squishing my already sore healing boob in one of those machines is awful. I really don't think I can stand it. I remember how bad it hurt when they did the mammogram when I had a lump, I can only imagine. I guess that's when all my pain/nerve pills will come in handy. And you are right about knowing a lump when you feel it. I always had lumpy breasts but when I found the cancer lump, I knew it was different..sherryg683
