Guest guest Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 The first step should be an ultrasound. They're less costly and don't harm the body like an X-Ray would. Ultrasounds generally can tell the doctor reading it if it's malignant or not. Also, breast thermography is great, but not widely available.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 In my response, I forgot about ultrasounds. But I don't think they can tell definitively if the nodule is cancer or not.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Dolores: I had a core biopsy to diagnose my cancer. They recommend a thermogram to continually check its size etc. Frann delrio wrote: In my response, I forgot about ultrasounds.
