Thank you. It has been a frustrating Journey. I feel like I've seen so many medical professionals and they often don't agree. I know this is a separate issue but, even today, I got some DNA testing done and the results suggested that I minimize radiation exposure because of a variation of my BRCA gene that's supposedly puts me in a higher risk category of radiation increasing my risk for breast cancer. The report I received recommended that I consider doing MRIs for Diagnostic testing instead of mammograms but then my gynecologist office called today and said that it doesn't make my risk high enough for insurance to cover an MRI and that I should be fine just doing mammograms. It's just another example of medical professionals telling you one thing and then different medical professionals tell him you another. It is crazy making! And it really has reduced my trust in Western medicine, in general.
