Question : Good Morning, I was diagnosed with lcis a few years ago. Lately I've been experiencing pain in the same breast. My mammogram is due in the beginning of August, should I call my dr and have it pushed up?

Brief Answer:
NO

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I have read through the provided information. There is no emergency in doing this mammogram and we are almost getting to August. Simply follow through and make sure you get the mammogram as scheduled. A 3 weeks wait will have no bearings on the diagnosis and management of this condition. These are lesions that take years to change and weeks would not affect any possible disease state or management plan.

I hope this helps. I wish you well and let me know if there is something more you want me to address with you at this point.

I hope this
