When I went back to Duke to find out why multiple annual tomosynthesis exams did not catch my bilateral breast cancer (almost 10 cm), I was told by the Head Breast Imaging Radiologist that it was my fault. I had not advocated strong enough to get the supplemental screening necessary to find cancer in my dense breasts. Instead, I mistakenly relied on the reassurances of my GYN (UNC) and PCP (Duke) that 3D tomosynthesis was meant for my heterogeneously dense breasts. This same radiologist was later quoted in a local paper touting tomosynthesis adding that Duke is especially skilled at reading it. After our meeting, she sent me peer reviewed publications demonstrating the inadequacy of tomosynthesis relative to abbreviated MRI for finding tumors in dense breasts. Informing me after the fact was infuriating. Why hadn’t she informed my Duke doctor so she could have given me the right advice. Why not put a note in my chart telling me that the mammogram image was hard to read (I now know that with heterogeneously dense breasts more than 50% of the breast tissue can’t be seen)?! Perhaps she could have hung some informational posters in the mammogram waiting room?! Instead, I received mammogram report after mammogram report saying no evidence of malignancy and recommending me to come back next year for another mammogram. I had my breasts examined by my doctors twice a year and given multiple assurances annually that I had no breast cancer. I wish my story was unique, but it’s not. I have met countless women where the same thing occurred to them. I have heard from so many women (too many to count) that their doctors refused to order the supplemental screening, saying tomosynthesis is adequate or that there is no evidence that more screening is better. We need change to get women the right screening to find cancer early. In the current situation, there is no accountability. There is an inadequate effort to properly inform patients and the doctors that treat them. My radiologists went home without concern that the screening given to me had a high probability of missing tumors. Their indifference left me with a nightmare that could have been avoided if there had been the smallest amount of concern for my well being. Let’s hold them accountable in the future. It could be you, your daughter, your sister, your mother. #breastcancer #breastcancerscreening #breastimaging #tomosynthesis #healthequity
Thanks WBBM | CBS Chicago , for helping us spread the word! This story explains why we fight to empower women to know their breast density and take charge of their breast cancer screening. We loved the coverage of our Paint the Lake Pink walk.
