A close friend of mine has metastatic breast cancer and it’s back again. It’s very aggressive and this is round 3. She’s 32. I’m 38 and need to get that baseline mammogram done. The problem is that I’ve been pregnant or breastfeeding for the last 6 years, and I’m still breastfeeding now. I’m not exactly sure how this affects mammograms, except they aren’t as accurate during lactation. I need to go and get completely worked up, too. So, I know I’ve got to go and do it, but I dread the outcome. The worst it could be can’t be any worse than my friend’s diagnosis, though, could it?
