Magseed and Magtrace are available and regularly used in Glan Clwyd and Wrexham Maelor.

Magtrace and Sentimag could also help reduce the need for major surgery, as they allow cancer to be removed without damaging the surrounding healthy tissue.

Struck by @Liz_ORiordan’s #ASBrS21 keynote, speaking as a patient & doctor. Loved her idea: what if all surgeons began a #breastcancer patient consult with two questions: 1. What questions do you have for me? 2. Do you want to record this on a phone so you have an exact record?

"The good patient doesn’t want their doctor to feel bad, wants to be easy to care for, doesn’t want to complain, and so on. They also can be late to getting the care they need." Your doctor needs (and wants) to hear everything that is going on. #bcsm

Sometimes it’s hard to bring up the many side effects of cancer treatment, but talking about them can help your doctor provide the best care.

In my opinion at the time beeing AI max a second reader not a replacement for radiologist.

Google said it has developed an AI system that can match or outperform radiologists at detecting breast cancer, according to new research. But doctors still beat the machines in some cases.

Of course, @AquaphorUS would be No. 1 on this list -- what products did you swear by during chemotherapy? #bcsm #breastcancer

Add sensitive skin to the long list of body changes happening during treatment.

Disbelief. Anger. Questioning. Acceptance. Fight Mode. Did you go through all the stages of fear after a #breastcancer diagnosis? Are you still in one? #bcsm
