Makes sense. Though I imagine this size difference is new then? Chances that it's just related to gaining weight?Because asymmetry is seen as a warning sign for breast cancer. That’s why they say when performing a self breast exam to first stand topless in front of the mirror and compare your breasts. In her case, she’s already had an estrogenic cancer, and her mother has also had an estrogenic cancer, so it’s not worth the risk to not test her. She would have been a nightmare for the radiographer to examine given all her extra armpit flesh that also has to be scanned. Young tissue also doesn’t scan well which is why mammograms are not routine exams for women before around age 45-50.
