Digital Mammo?
HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE DIGITAL MAMMO'S? FROM WHAT I'VE READ THEY MAY BE A LITTLE BETTER. I REQUESTED MY MAMMO'S BE DIGITAL BUT BREAST SURGESON SAID "NOT NECESSARY." (REGULAR MAMMO NORMAL 3 MONTHS PRIOR TO DX OF BC) I ALSO ASKED FOR A MRI EVERY 6 MONTHS, BUT SHE ALSO SAID 'NOT NECESSARY.' (SHE WAS CONCERNED INSURANCE WOULD'T PAY FOR IT.) AM I BEING TOO PARANOID AND READING TOO MUCH?
