My younger sister was diagnosed when she was 42, had a mastectomy and is fine today-18 yrs later.
Give yourself a gift and get a mammography.
I am very happy to hear your sister is doing well.

My mammogram scheduled for Oct 7. I'm pretty good about doing it annually since I have cysts, and have had 2 biopsy/lumpectomies in the past. I still worry about the things mammogram does not pick up (such as in Joan Lunden's case), but for now mammograms are the best detection method we have. I hope for even better technology in the future.
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers for perfect results.
