Hi Debi - I too am unclear on what you mean by your post. Are you worried that your daughter is facing a lifetime of being in these types of situations and perhaps being subjected to too many procedures?
I believe that I'm alive today because my doctors took extra precautions due to breast cancer history in my family, as well as benefiting from advances in detection and treatment. I've had to learn a lot of information to protect my health, choose the right doctors, be knowledgeable about procedures, differentiate treatment facilities, and more. It hasn't been easy at times, especially in the early days when there were far less resources available to consumers. It's been worth it though. The more a patient understands about their condition, the more they can partner with their physicians to manage the situation. Are you concerned that this is something your daughter doesn't want to do? And is there something we can do to help you?
Please let us know. Thanks, Pat
