Mammograms

Good morning everyone. I was wondering how many of you have continued to get mammograms since your MBC diagnosis’s. I was diagnosed in March 2017 and have not had one since then. My oncologist said it would probably not change my treatment plan if something was found in my breast but I’m not sure if I should get them anyway. What are all of you doing regarding mammograms?

I asked the same thing of my oncologist. She said I no longer need them. I guess if something new showed up, I am already being treated.

If it makes you feel better then you should get them. Peace of mind is the most important. I hated getting them. They missed mine 2 years in a row anyway. Mine was found when I had an X-ray on my shoulder. Arm showed cancer to late.

Mine says the same thing. We need to keep it from spreading. How they can. 2 years so far.
