I was thinking about mammograms and you know how they really press down hard on the breast making them as flat as possible? It is painful and it is a lot of pressure. And sometimes they have to do it mulitple times.

Well, I was thinking, if you had a DCIS that was still safely IN SITU could a mammogram's pressure push it so it breaks through the duct?

My path was a DCIS AND IDC. So I always assumed that had I caught it early I would have a better prognosis. But if a woman has just a plain contained DCIS that is forced out of its containment just from the mammo could that be why some women do much better than others? Meaning that they didn't have as aggressive a cancer as assumed- it was just made to look that way.

What do you think Dr. Leo?

Hi Sarge, I edited the title of your thread to better describe its contents. Also, I would like to ask you to edit your profile and place your website there or in your signature line. It is ok as is as long as you do not start to actually promote it and stay focused on cancer. However, it would just be a little clearer that the link is not about the topic if you placed it in your signature line. Thanks.
