Absolutely, @JJ70 - pinch any bits you want & spread the word!!!
I seriously believe that their non-disclosure of DBT - is costing lives!! Just ask anyone here who is diagnosed straight up with Stage 4 - who have DBT - they could have been caught earlier! :( It is identifiable with 'other scans', earlier & still totally 'treatable' rather than being a terminal disease! :(
Yes, after 5 years, apparently in NSW, we 'can' revert to normal Breastscreens - but I won't be trusting it, for one!! If they haven't picked up on the first one, how could they possibly pick up on the 2nd one? :(
In the long term, it is a total waste of money to misdiagnose BC in the first place - as it costs more to the Gov/Medicare/Funds than if diagnosed early & treated early - let alone the mental anguish for the patient, the family & friends.
It is just NOT ON!
I am assuming I will be told the 'results' of their 'investigation' to my Breastscreen films vs my 'non certain' Mid North Coast Diagnostics US & MG, who then suggested a Biopsy ....... which found my tumours!
Thank GOD for my GP!!
