having dense breast tissue and the sneaky, percolating nature of invasive lobular cancer means it is so difficult to see feel secure with the MG and u/s. the fact that i'll be having the scan results meeting a year to the day of diagnosis is also adding to the scanxiety - and i don't go for them until november!
thanks again and soooo sorry for not responding sooner!
