Prevention and early detection is the only 'cure'.
It did not take long for the medical community to emphasize/ recommend getting mammos at 40. And less women have died of bc because of those recommendations... I think, since technology has improved from the days of mammo only detection, it is wise to get the word out on earlier screenings... Mammos still have a high rate of return in the doc's office --they are the work horse of bc detection. I don't think insurance companies will ever budge on suggesting MRI for younger women.
I was told my daughter would need to begin her screening 10 years before the age of my own diagnosis. She will start at 30. The MRI "fund" will be there for her becasue I doubt the insurance company will.
