Anyone's Onco Rx 3-D Mammo's? Less/more Painful? Clearer Results? Concerned About 2x Radiation :(

I had very dense breasts. 3D mammo detected a tiny anomaly (microcalcifications) that would have been hidden by 2D mammo. But the 3D mammo did not detect my 2 cancers, which were 5 mm each. Those were found by MRI, which is much more sensitive.

My last mammogram was 3-D. I didn't find it any more uncomfortable than a regular mammogram. Better results.

The 3d helped saved my life. Not one bit more uncomfortable.

3D mammos feel the same as regular mammos, they are just clearer I guess?
