HER2 Support Group Forums - View Single Post - for those whose tumors were missed by mammography--a new technique

When I talked with my surgeon in Seattle about my upcoming imaging and raised the question of breast-specific gamma imaging, he suggested I have the PEM instead.

As a stage I NED at 6 years out, I have only had mammograms done since 2006. I think he was more or less on the fence, neither opposed to having additional imaging beyond a mammogram nor especially inclined to recommend it.
