I agree, it’s extremely important.
I’m early in my journey, but thankfully my GP didn’t dismiss my vague symptoms & my surgeon was thorough & because I had dense breasts ( young breast tissue is how he worded it, I’m 55) sent me for an MRI after my initial investigations. I had never felt a lump- I’d had altered sensation to a small area on my right breast. Initially I had a mammogram & ultrasound . A small lump was found on u/s & biopsied it was IDC in my right breast. The MRI showed another lump & larger areas of DCIS in both breasts. So instead of just a lumpectomy & radiotherapy as initially thought, I’m now awaiting an appointment with a team in the city for a double mastectomy.
I believe it’s vital that appropriate imaging is done.
