All is good. Due to lumpy tissue in my breast in the location of the incision where 3 surgeries took place, I agreed to have an ultrasound check it out. After enduring a lecture on why mammograms are the gold standard, I stood my ground and said NO to a mammogram. As I expected, the ultrasound showed only scar tissue. All is good. 🙂

Great news! I’m up for my first year mammogram and if all is clear, I’ve decided no more either. I feel like I need to have the 1 year done for my peace of mind. Doesn’t make total sense but I need to hear the all clear at least once. I had a new type of full body thermography (being used in Germany) done a few weeks ago to use as a baseline with this last mammo. From then on out I’ll be using that and sonograms only. I’m prepared for the lecture that will ensue when she finds out I went ahead with it, since she poo-pooed it away when I went in for my 6 month. Ridiculous isn’t it? The way they talk to us like we’re stupid.
Once again, I’m glad to have a spot to talk about these alternative treatments where people are open minded.
