[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 133156, member: 2459"] As it was explained to me recently, the ultrasound is only done following a mammogram if they need to look more at an area. I had my first mammo a few weeks ago and they wanted a repeat because of a lot of dense tissue. Of course the second one is with a lot more pressure in an attempt to "break up the dense area". (Had to wonder...just how much do they plan on breaking up this tissue???? Do I need to worry about anything oozing out???) I asked about skipping the second mammo and going straight to the ultrasound but they don't do it that way. If you find a way to convice them, let me know! [/QUOTE]
