Although I very much appreciate your knowledge, I don’t think it’s right to imply that we shouldn’t need to do our own research as well. To say that you ‘do the research so that we don’t have to’ is quite an authoritarian viewpoint . We all need to do our own research as well, as anyone can miss something, & then carefully consider all the knowledge gained, not just information from one person because we are all individuals & no one source is the oracle. Many thanks 🙏🏼❤

Unfortunately my 1st breast cancer was lobular, which wasn't picked up on the mamogram. I was lucky that my surgeon decided to remove the fibroid adenoma to examine it & tests revealed tiny cancer cells. My 2nd cancer was ductal but the lump was very low at the side on my ribs & it wasn't possible to get that area into the machine. Ultrasound scan & needle biopsy confirned the diagnosis on that occasion. I went for my 1st annual mammogram after my mastectomy last week but have to say that because of past failures to detect my cancerI don't have a lot of faith in it finding anything.

There is proof that mammograms cause harms that cannot be ignored any longer, especially now that younger women must get screened.

Don't listen to her on these points saying MRI or Sofia ABUS 3D can't be used. There is evidence that DW-MRI can work for this, it is already working for men with prostate cancer. They just need to get it working for women and women need to stand up and demand contrast-free and ionizing radiation free screening options like DW-MRI. We know that women with dense breasts get nothing from mammograms, why are we exposing these women to this toxic and traumatizing scan that does nothing for them? Until she addresses this question, she is not my doctor. Spread the word, women globally need to ask for DW-MRI. WB-DW-MRI should be at every cancer center for annual whole body cancer screenings for all. Skip these cheap toxic scans like mammograms that miss half the cancers they are there to find and expose us to unneeded radiotoxicity.

Great video! Thank you, Dr O’Riordan. I wonder if you could do a video about prophylactic mastectomy. I got my left breast removed moved last year. I got my first mammogram on my right breast and it came back “Abnormal.” An MRI guided core needle is recommended as the next step. However, when my breast surgeon who perform my left breast reconstruction surgery asked if we are doing a mastectomy and bilateral DIEP flap reconstruction, I said “let’s do it.” But I know I maybe jumping the gun since the “abnormal” result could be calcifications or something else (benign). My ILC was an incidental finding, stage 3 (7 cm x 4 cm), w/micromets on 1 SLN. I’m at high for recurrence according to my oncologist. I had neoadjuvant chemo and it killed 95% of the tumor before surgery. Now I’m on Verzenio x 2 years and letrozole for 10 years. Could you please address this topic, prophylactic mastectomy pros and cons? You can use my case. Thank you in advance! ❤

I have/had 32 FF sized breast I have had a lumpectomy with oncoplasty 8 months ago and now have a smaller breast probably a 32 B cup now I have completed radiotherapy my lovely breast surgeon has offered to reduce the other breast in the using the same method. Will I be given a mammogram or ultrasound before surgery on my remaining breast to check there is no cancer present?

Thanks dr. Liz for a wonderful video. I have a question which is difficult to explain but i hope you will understand me. I always wondered if during surgery, when surgeons cut open the breast to find the tumour, do you see just that tumour near the cut or can you look at the whole breast and find any other lump? Like... how should i put it? Is the breast like a half moulded cheese bar that wherever you cut inside, you get to see just that moulded area and not know if there is another part of cheese going bad or is a breast like a box that when you open, you get to see all the contents of box at once? How do you find multiple tumours in different sides of breast which are suspicious on mammograms but you want to be sure? Do you make multiple cuts or just make one cut and see everything? Also, does a cancer lump have different colour than normal tissue when you cut open and easy to distinguish?

Thank you Liz for posting this video. Always so informative. I know mammograms and US don’t find all breast cancer as this happened to me personally with a second lump being missed after chemo and lumpectomy. My surgeon thought there might be something else and a second op for mastectomy showed DCIS was there. This concerns me in the future as I worry about it being missed again on my other breast. I know mammos are the first line of scanning, but is there any other scan you can recommend if we are prepared to pay privately for it such as MRI?
