Breast cancer / mammograms – help please x Started by: Charlotte

I had a a mammogram before xmas due to finding lumps, all was well thankfully, and as far as I know not at high risk. But they did have trouble seeing anything though the mussel tissue due to it being to dense. So I had to have a aultra sound as well, with this I mind I also have to have unders there is no room for movement there. I will have to have regular check ups because I do suffer with random lumps. I have read on a NHS web site, it states it’s easer for them to scan with unders but you will have to tell them so they can make allowances for them. Me personally would prefer just to have the aultar sound any way and they seem to see better. Hope this helps just a little, x

Hi Charlotte,
I’ve had to have two sets of mammograms in the past 3 years due to finding lumps in my breast & under arm area. The last time I had a mammogram I had to have ultrasound scans & biopsies too, all were carried out just fine with my implants & no damage was caused during the scans or biopsies – I specifically asked Mr Traynor to check if there was any damage when he removed my original implants.

Hey babe, I also have this gene too and I was told that I could only go under the muscle because of this. Having them under the muscle eliminates hidden breast tissue behind tour implant, you can have mammograms as normal however you’ve got to tell the person who is doing them that you have implants as they will want to take a few more images!
