    MRIs are better screening tests since mammograms are only 60% accurate when you have dense breasts. That’s why many mammo results are clean because they can’t detect small tumors in dense breasts. MRIs should be the prevented test and covered by insurance but we all know that will be a big challenge! Her story is helpful & should get us to ask our doctors about the risk assessment test, etc. We have to advocate for ourselves & share experiences so others can learn & apply.

What she did is none of your business just like what you did is none of mine or anyone else’s. You wanna advocate for something advocate for it but don’t do that tacky crap where you tell someone that’s having trouble conceiving that she should do the ‘right’ thing and adopt. I had more people while I was going through IVF telling me I should save my money and adopt. The funny thing is not one of these people adopted themselves, they all had their own biological children.
