Not a high risk?

On this they don't even deserve one star. Please give us that option.

I have very, very dense breast tissue end there are two things, that the doctor's look at every year, to make sure it stays the same size.

My mother is a high risk, due to her cancer and that her sister died of breast cancer and all her siblings has cancer.

Due to the above mentioned the doctors recommend that I came every year for a mammogram and sonar.

The documents has also been submitted to Discovery Health and I did the breast risk calculator telephonically with Discovery, because it simply keeps on loading and not working on the website.

After three complaints to Discovery, still nothing.

But according to Discovery Health, I am not a high risk?

The outcome off this was still, after two doctors motivations for yearly mammograms, Discovery prefer to only use the Breast Risk Calculater, which means, if you did not had a biopsy done, although you have cancer in the family, especially breast cancer, they won't pay for the mammogram every year. Simply no concern or investigation, they know better, than the doctors. They have been in touch, but the bottom line is, it is not a prevention or screening, you had to have a biopsy done first, doctors motivations won't help. Be aware.

Simply a waste of time, the bottom line stays the same, the calculator knows better than the doctors, that has the patient in front of them. This is not prevention.
