I found my my lump that a Screening Mammogram did not pick up. I had small, dense, breasts that almost popped out while they were being Xrayed. Add to the fact that the tumor was at the periphery of my breast, and on my chest wall, it was pretty much impossible to find it, especially with Only A Screening Mammogram! Women and Men keep feeling your breasts! And consider asking for a Diagnostic Mammogram and/or Breast Ultrasound too.
Thank you for the rad protection tips… I will update but the sub onco suggests fluvestrant not an AI! It’s a SERD injection that is not readily bio available so requires more to get the effect needed. The oral SERDS are bio available and less is required ( so less side effects presumably) but not yet approved in early BC arena. Ugh! Hoping
