Thanks for talking about this. In fact, even though this is one of the species that can be cured in the early stages, we still need to prove that we need to get tested. I don’t understand this. I think it is worth talking about this even with our children. But few people support this opinion. Hopefully this will change soon. My aunt had breast cancer and it is good that she was saved, but it was definitely the most stressful period of our family’s life. I sincerely wish that this does not happen again.

Every year I go faithfully. I don’t find the process scary, but the waiting for results sure is stressful. I have a sister who had a lumpectomy. We have dense breasts.

So Sorry about Mel. I had just scheduled yearly mammogram and, came back with dense breasts. I have had that since I first started gettting mammograms. I started at about 40. I am now 45. I am glad I have this opportunity to get mammograms.

In reply to Polly OBrien.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! So glad to hear your mom is on the mend, and that you’re getting screened every year. Sharing our first-hand experiences with others really helps to dispell the fear that so many of us feel. Wishing you all the best!

In 2009 when my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, I was 37 and had my first baseline screening. Her cancer was discovered by an annual mammogram and was caught early – which was great since hers was a particularly aggressive case. She didn’t find anything in her personal breast exams. She had a mastectomy and has been cancer free since 2010. I have been having an annual mammogram since then. I find them more reassuring than scary.
