  1. Jil Simon's story of survival

    On September 30, 2011, I felt as if my world shifted. My doctor said I had breast cancer. I knew it was inevitable. My mother, two aunts and two cousins were all cancer survivors — but I wasn’t prepared for it to come so soon. I was only 43 years old. I could not detect any lumps, but the mammogram surely did.

  5. Patricia Parkins' story or survival

    While living in Jamaica in February 2009, I felt pain in both breasts. My primary doctor ordered a mammogram and ultrasound. The results indicated Mammary Duct Ectasia and antibiotics were prescribed. I sought a second opinion, and that doctor confirmed the initial diagnosis. I kept checking with both doctors over the next couple of months and was told if the pain persisted that I would need a biopsy.

  9. Mammography benefits questioned

    In recent years many leading health organizations have advised that all women age 40 and up have an annual mammogram or be tested every two years for the presence of breast cancer.
