Have we found a better way to screen for breast cancer for those with fibrocystic breast disease?  Since I was in my 20's, (I'm now 43), I have had to endure a yearly mamogram because of my fibrocystic breast disease.  Due to this disorder, I fear my yearly mamogram and find myself putting it off too long.  For weeks after my mamogram, I have bruises, pain and discharge.  I usually then have to do a follow-up with an ultra-sound, and occasionally a biopsy.  Thankfully, so far the tests have been negative.  Haven't they found an easier, less painful way to check for breast cancer?  I am overdue now for my yearly mamogram and get cold sweats just thinking about it.
