A digital mammogram found my breast cancer. I did not and neither did a regular
mammo. I just decided to go to a new center and try it and there was a suspicious place and they did compression mammo and ultra sound and confirmed it was indeed breast cancer. With the digital they can play around and enhance the area I was told. I had a lumpectomy two days later and then
started treatment.
