Two months ago, I had my doctor do a very thorough manual check of my breasts, and he said he felt nothing amiss. Today I finally had my yearly mammogram, after putting it off for six months for fear of the outcome. I will not know the results until tomorrow or the next day. I am very worried. What are the chances of something being detected in my mammogram, given that my manual exam was normal?

MD Hi Doctor, I am a 38 year old transgender woman (mtf), 5 11 , 235lbs, non smoker. I take avodart (anti androgen), coumadin and a small daily dose of eltroxin for hypothyroid. On July 4th I had breast implant surgery and 4 days post op developed a DVT. I was treated in the hospital and still take coumadin. My question is this: Due to my being transgender I am really concerned because I was taken off of estrogen when the DVT developed and I would like to begin taking estrogen again. Is it ok for me to begin taking estrogen at this point? My leg has never fully reduced to its normal size; however I also don t swell much either even after longs walks or standing on my feet all day. YYYY@YYYY
