While millions of people are breast cancer survivors, it remains one of the most common cancers affecting women. Regardless of the high survival rate of breast cancer I often hear misconceptions or myths about the disease from patients. In this day and age of online information, it’s easy to get bombarded by what I often refer to as “Dr. Google”. It’s important to have the facts and dispel common myths surrounding breast cancer.

Are X-Rays and other images sometimes read by doctors in another town or state? I have heard it is important to compare previous mammogram images with a current mammogram. Is that true? What if my mammogram or ultrasound shows something concerning?...

When it comes to breast screening, many people would believe it is one size fits all. However, at The Breast Center at Midland Health we believe in personalized care.

By doing this, she cuts by 40 percent her risk of dying from breast cancer. We also advocate that all women with dense breasts should have a screening ultrasound...
