Along with this crazy mutation comes the increased risk of lobular breast cancer. There are a LOT of breast cancer patients on my mom's side of the family...lobular included.
Because of the increased risk, every 6 months I rotate between doing a mammogram and MRI.
FRIDAY was mammogram day. It went well and I had no concerns. If anything shows up, I will get a call...if not, a letter. Although mammograms aren't the most fun thing to do in the world, I'm thankful for these means of being preventative until or if I decide a double mastectomy is something I want to do. Here's to hoping I get a letter and not a call!!!
