@californiazebra my point is there seems to be no easy way to catch it early. Hoping for progress with liquid biopsies as @semurrey mentioned!

I embarked on the liquid biopsy journey… Signatera from NATERA. I received a negative result last month from first blood draw which was matched with positive tissue from surgery. I believe they track 15 DNA data points.

I see this as another tool in the proactive kit. I do get a mammo for natural breast and MRI ( both) annually alternating at 6 mos . And I take AI religiously!

I too am most interested in the liquid biopsy opportunities. So far there is uncertainty about what to “do” about a positive result. I was relieved to have gotten a negative result.
