Pwde na mag mammo kahit under 40y/o dito sa US (don't get me wrong, hindi po ako nagyayabang) May benign cyst kasi ako noon and nung napunta ako dito sinuggest ng doctor na mag mammo ako
12:16, cancer can be inherited from either maternal or paternal side. Meaning, when you assess your risk for cancer, include in your medical history your grandparents, first degree uncles, aunts, and cousins.
In Canada they do genetic testing if you have family history of breast cancer. Yung ginawa ni Angelina Jolie. My friend got tested right away after her mom beat breast cancer. My friend was only 25 that time so may early testing talaga.
Where I am lahat ng babae na 40 years old and above pinadadalhan ng letter and encouraged to call health line numbers for a mamogram for free. Tapos kapag may na detect na questionable result pinababalik ka for more test until sure na walang dapat ikabahala.
It is required in the country where I live to have a mamogram every 2 yrs after hitting 50. Despite the fact that I do not have a family history, I was called for a repeat scan using a different kind of machine + ultrasound after the first one. Turns out doctors found an anomaly, and although I in the clear now, would need to do the scan every year. Im very scared, however, due diligence and self awareness is key.
Wag kang mema.y mga libreng ang mamo sa Pinas pero my specific days lang sa specific hospitals. Libre din magpa chemo sa mga hospital na yun. Do your research darling hindi ung my maibash lang sa gobyerno. Ngayon kung sasabihin nyong bakit my specific days lang abay tandaan na hindi naman tayo ‘mayamang’ bansa but to have that is already a good thing for now. Please lang wag nyo itulad sa ibang bansa dahil hindi nyo rin alam ang sitwasyon doon. My aunt died in Canada at 55yrs old kesyo libre pero babad pa din sa trabaho at kung ano2 sinuggest na diagnosis kahit hindi na kaya ng katawan nya. Samantalang ang kakilala ko dito sa pinas 11yrs ng survivor ng same type of cancer dahil magaling ung mga doctor na humawak. Keep that in mind. Be grateful no matter what. Wag mema lang.
True! Some of our public hospitals like PGH, East Ave, etc has Malasakit Center. Free ang chemotherapy, but tyaga lang talaga sa schedule and pila. Pero super laking tulong para sa mga cancer patients. Praying na mas malaking budget ang ma-allocate for public health para mas madaming matulungan.
Here in the US annual mammo starts at 40 specially if u don't have fam history or issues. I have dense breast tissues so if you have the same, it's harder to detect if there are lesions. Always do a self check and keep up with ur appts. Try to also do lymphatic massage around that area.
Yung nagsabing hindi puwede mag-mammogram unless 35, that's not true. I had my first mammogram at 33, and have had mammograms every year, since then. I am now 54. Thank goodness for early detection.
Breast ultrasound pwede kahit ano age, pa check lang sa OB if you feel something off or different sa breasts. Pwede din ang mammogram kahit under 40 basta may consent from your breast surgeon naman. Currently undergoing my chemo also for breast CA 🙏
I was 25 nung first ako na-mammo. Wala sa family namin ang may history ng breast cancer, pero dahil may na-detect yung family doctor ko sakin kaya ni-refer ako para magpa-mammo.
get well soon po.
ReplyDeleteNatawa ako baks. Sorry! Nasanay kasi ako na sinasabi yan kapag may lagnat o ubo yung tao. Hehe
DeleteFighting Madam!
ReplyDeleteLadies! Pag may family history, make it a point to get a mammo. Age is nothing. My friend died at 35 y.o. due to breast cancer.
ReplyDeleteHindi pwede mag mamo til 35 as per my OB
DeleteWhen you say family history, immediate family ba ito? O kasali mga tito tita lolo lola pinsan?
DeletePwde na mag mammo kahit under 40y/o dito sa US (don't get me wrong, hindi po ako nagyayabang) May benign cyst kasi ako noon and nung napunta ako dito sinuggest ng doctor na mag mammo ako
DeleteYou can get mammo with dr referral if under age. Lalo na if you feel something
DeleteKapag medically necessary at referral ng primary care physician niyo, puwede kahit under 40 sa US. Hindi ko alam sa ibang bansa.
Delete12:00 di ko alam nasan parte ng mundo ka. Pero sa ibang countries outside ng pinas (like where I am now) pag mag family history, pasok sa banga.
DeleteYou can only have mammo when you reach 40. But pwede mag mammo under 40 if may nadetect na cyst to further check it.
DeletePwede magpa mammo below 40yo basta may go signal ni OB lalo na at may family history. Pwede din breast ultrasound muna if ayaw mammo

DeleteTrue. My friend died recently (31y/o)

ReplyDeleteYes whether or not may family history may mga bansa na may mga advertisement pa sila para mag healthcheck
DeleteTama naman. Kahit takot ka, still better to know and be treated sooner rather than later.
ReplyDeleteSabagay nga kasi pag late ng nadetect ganun din magpapagamot na din so bakit hindi na lang magpacheck early

ReplyDeleteHay sana all may pera for these tests. Or at least sana libre man lang ng gobyerno. But then again, mas importante ang confidential funds
ReplyDeleteHahhaa! Confi finds for the win!

DeleteMeron sa hovt hospital yan pero iilan lang na govt hospital meron. Makikipag siksikan ka talaga.

ReplyDeleteIn this part of the world, the govt sends letter to all women aged 40+ to have a free mammo.

ReplyDeletePag may family history, early scan is allowed or you should insist, it's your health at stake.
