I had mentioned a book and was coming to tell you that I found the book. It's called Pretty Is What Changes and it's about a woman who had an elective double mascectomy. If you'd like for me to send it to you, I'd be happy to. Just send me an email.

Boobs are something I have, not what defines me; but my family is my life. I want to live a long life to enjoy them, and their future.

I'd get a couple medical opinions. I got called back last year for a second view, and I was pretty darn skeered. They did another mammogram on the one side (with smaller squish paddles), then they did an ultrasound. They also told me I have dense tissue, so it can be hard to really see what's going on in there. Take a breath. Try not to get too worried. You're going every year and doing what you're supposed to. I'll be thinking about you and your mom.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00255686424178324749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6396857547993213615.post-28276377908203337312011-03-15T18:23:53.052-07:002011-03-15T18:23:53.052-07:00Hello, New to your page.

She did it as a preventative measure. I would probably really think about it and would lean towards doing it.gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00894920637532415315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6396857547993213615.post-754555863408415582011-03-15T17:16:35.639-07:002011-03-15T17:16:35.639-07:00Panic!

That's important because should it be anything to worry about, you'll get it taken care of immediately. But you already know that because your mom is going through it. If it were me, I would talk to my doctor to see what he/she recommends but I would be hesitant to take such a drastic step as a preventative measure. I've heard that there are other ways to check for breast cancer ... I believe ultra-sound is one method. I would definitely talk to my doctor about using these other means of examination in addition to a mammogram. I'm guessing (and hoping) that a follow-up exam will simply reveal that the density is caused by one of the other reasons you mentioned. Hang in there!!

So far everything is looking ok, but I have to get a mammogram yearly.<br /><br />If I were you I'd wait and see what these tests results say. Needless to say, it's very scary and I know just how you feel. Good luck!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227998987960781667noreply@blogger.com
