Re: Big bang theory of cancer development
Joan,
Great article! I had been having digital mammo's for five years prior to having been dx. with bc. I too had always had dense breasts and no one ever mentioned having an MRI (?) why not...six months after my mammo I had a pain deep in my arm pit and insisted on another digital mammo...6MM tumor was found.
Remember hearing firmly "Cancer does not hurt"
I wonder if this was the bang theory in my case? Will never know. I tell every woman today who has dense breasts to have a base line MRI done.
I now have MRI done every other mammo.
