This is a fantastic development especially for ladies who have had radiation on their breast.
Mamo and ultrasound hurt like anything compared to the other breast and the radiographer only 'squishes' as far as my pain threshold will manage and it defenately doesn't go as far as the non radiated breast. This has concerned me as I worry I don't get as clear a picture on that side.
I didn't have to wait for my results last time. Dr came in and had another look during the ultrasound and said "I just wanted to tell you it's all clear." he said he could empathize with bc ladies as his mum had bc.
I thought this was very nice of him.
I wonder what the cost will be and if Medicare will cover any of it

Any improvement is good, I hope they can make one that you can use sitting down or standing. I am still having trouble lying on my tummy.
