Description:

Breast Cancer is the most common cancer in women. Screening for breast cancer is the most important thing that can be done to find early stage breast cancer when it is most treatable. Mammography as well as MRI can be used as a screening tool. If you are high risk, such as women with proior radiation exposure, of a strong family history, MRI may be used, as well as genetic testing for a BRCA gene mutation- BRCA1, BRCA2.

I had been diagnosed with LCIS and have an MRI annually to screen for breast cancer. I find it very disconcerting to be subjected to this yearly. But, it is a small price to pay to save my life. I will be glad to speak to anyone who needs some comfort from this procedure.

I work at a new breast clinic and recommend that all women get the appropriate screening for breast cancer. It is easy to do and most clinics like ours makes it very pleasant when you are getting your screening for breast cancer.
