Mammograms are known to miss so much, why count on them?

Good luck.

Mary,

I think the new MDS is awesome. I get your point about mammograms...kind of crazy, huh? I am going to see how the blood tests turn out and then approach this whole thing differently. As far as coming off of the Mirapex, I can hardly wait to have the swelling issue resolve, without taking water pills a couple of times a week.

Thanks for your concern and comments.

Love,

Evonne
