Yes. A mammo is important. Went 18 months due to a major move. A suspicious spot and they can't determine after two mammos, and a sonagram, with a biopsy scheduled. Even if it is the big C, it will be caught early enough, hopefully.

Just had a six month f/u to check a clip that was inserted after a biopsy of a mass. F/U was fine - good to go till next annual mammogram. My mother died of breat cancer - I am faithful with my mammograms. Best wishes and prayers to all you survivors!

I just went thru my annuals...24 survivor years here after "too late" diagnosis. (10 yrs chemo). Every year I still realize I had better finish some quilts just in case. Nobody else could figure out my stash.

I have several famiy members that have pasted away due to cancer. But I am a surviver of breast cancer for 8 yrs. I also remind all my friends to go for their Mamagrams......
I just got out of the hosipital again for the 3rd time, due to infection, but lucky it didn't make it to the blood line.
