   general for women who are at normal -- standard risk of developing breast cancer . Official recommendations are to get an annual mammogram . And to visit your doctor right -- -- for any clinical breast examination. And are -- factors that put a woman at higher risk for breast cancer they should be aware of.

Or women who have had health conditions in the past which could predispose them to breast cancer such as a history of hodgkin's disease. Or are receiving radiation therapy to the chest wall. Now we should all -- -- now include giving an MRI is part of breast cancer screening should become standard now. I think the importance of the recommendations front the American Cancer Society. Is that they highlight anything that we've made a lot of advances over the past several years in trying to find. Better ways to screen for breast cancer and higher risk individuals. We do have data from clinical trials looking at women. Who -- gene mutations that predispose to breast cancer .

What was your response and reaction to the fact and admit to her bone is is that comment. Unfortunately. In a certain percentage of women who are diagnosed with early stage breast cancer .

Whether a breast cancer is going to come back depends on many individual factors relating to. The tumor itself and other aspects of the care. Personally

   bit different then all American women in that she she is a breast cancer survivor and has been monitored closely by her doctor. Four women who do not have a breast cancer diagnosis but who are interested in doing everything possible. To try to see if they have breast cancer -- make sure they don't have it.
