I have had mammograms since I was 35 years old and this year at 54 I found a lump in my left breast. Doctors had always told me that I had dense breast tissue but never recommended that I have anything other than mammogram. OB/GYN told me it didn't feel like cancer. Radiologist did ultrasound and told me it didn't look like cancer. Had a biopsy and it was cancer. Almost 4 months of testing and doctor visits later I had a double mastectomy on 4/30/14. Thank the Lord that my nodes were negative and I just had CT scans and a cancer blood test which were all negative. Now on to complete my reconstruction and this stretching part is very uncomfortable but I guess that is better than the alternative. I truly believe that doctors should recommend ultrasound on all women who have dense breast tissue!
