Hereditary cancer – do you want to know?
After being involved with breast cancer awareness for many years, I made the decision to go in for hereditary cancer screening at Hoag. It took me several months to finally decide that I wanted to know. My mom’s breast cancer did not have the markers of hereditary cancer, but since my paternal grandma died from […]

Dense boobs
I recently had to have a breast MRI done for diagnostic screening. I have the trifecta of bad luck in that I have a history of breast cancer on both sides of my family, I am now 40, and I have dense breasts.
