The Call-Back
The most critical lesson Barbara has learned from her diagnosis and the aftermath is the importance of selecting a good facility and sticking with it. A new and encouraging trend is the establishment of comprehensive breast centers that take care of everything, from mammograms to surgery, if necessary. Barbara chose an academic medical center that has a section devoted to breast health. Because of that, everyone involved in her care—the radiologist, the breast surgeon and the oncologist—were all part of the same team. That made her experience as seamless as possible. She's still anxious about the next mammogram but also grateful that she has the chance to do something that could lower her ultimate risk of breast cancer.

Comment: I can't help but notice that someone keeps pushing the website listed below in various articles related only remotely to implants...this article has nothing to do with them. Nice try on the website promotion, but you're a little obvious.

Comment: Mammograms can be frightening. Most women in their 30's or 40's are a little scared to take the test. I wonder if there is an easier way to determine if lumps and bumps are malignant. The person who invents the first at-home mammogram will make millions because most women I know don't like to get a mammogram at the doctors office. My dear friend had to get both breasts removed 2 years ago. She went through chemo also. Then she had the doctors at finestimplants.com give her some wonderful new breasts.
It was a difficult process going through the chemo, but now she is happy and loves her new breasts.
