The impact of being diagnosed young

Here is a story that hits home! This young woman was diagnosed at 23, after failing to convince her doctors that she had a problem.

We have heard this story many times over, about young women experiencing symptoms and not being taken seriously by their doctor.

Safe Breast Imaging suggests the two-step feel test: what does your breast symptom FEEL like, and what do you feel intuitively? If you think that you may have a problem, do not let your doctor dismiss your concerns.

Now there is screening available for women of all ages in Australia. It is safe, comfortable, radiation free. If we can pick up clues that may potentially cause problems in the future, and work on reducing our risk at that stage, isnt it a better strategy than waiting for a positive diagnosis?
