Me too, please. My oncologist is still recommending my daughter wait until 40 to do mammograms, even though she tested positive for Rad 50 and I have bc.

A breast cancer radiologist I was listening to said with family history, younger than 40 need a mammogram. There are 20 yos on YT who's dr said with finding a lump, it can't be cancer, you are in your 20s. Didn't take her seriously to even do a biopsy for 6 mos or longer. By the time they did it, just saying, she was stage 4 with mets.
Don't listen to drs who say women of a young age can't get cancer. Its wrong. Esp with her testing and your 1st° relationship. Be proactive. Force them to at least do a mammogram for later comparison. Pay attention to YOUR internal guidance. Its such a simple test and not doing it can have terrible consequences, as you know. She is high risk isn't she? What's the harm? My best.

I would get a second opinion because I’ve read that positives should start early.
