Many still do not know about direct primary care and I’m on a mission to change that. I first learned about this during residency where my program went out of their way to show us residents that there was more than one way to practice medicine without joining the establishment right after graduation. At the time, coming from a completely different system, it didn’t really make sense and I was carrying student loans and unsure of the way forward so I never saw myself in that role. However, as the years went by, and my dissatisfaction With the traditional system intensified, as well as my own feelings of burnout, Dpc became a viable option, which allows me to give patients the care that they deserve, without losing myself in the process. Dpc removes the Insurance middleman and allows us to care for our patients largely without interference. It is a great option for people who are uninsured, under insured, or maybe even have great insurance, but simply want better access to the same physician every time, who knows you and knows your history. Insurance does not necessarily mean access. Interested in this model of care? Send me a DM and we can schedule a free meet and greet to see if this is a good option for your care needs.

And for medical students and residents, this might be a good option for you to explore right off the bat. There really is more than one way to skin a cat. Questions for me? Let’s talk in the comments. taken in DFW Area, Texas by @zelosdpc

Stage 0 breast cancer usually refers to ductal carcinoma in situ, or DCIS.
Here’s what that means:
DCIS starts with abnormal cells inside a milk duct. Most importantly, those cells have NOT broken through the duct wall into the surrounding breast tissue. That’s why DCIS is considered noninvasive or “in situ.”
Most DCIS is found on a mammogram, often as calcifications, rather than because someone felt a lump.
So why do we take it seriously?
Some DCIS can eventually become invasive breast cancer. The challenge is that we cannot yet reliably predict which individual cases will progress and which will not.
Treatment is individualized and may include breast-conserving surgery, radiation, hormone therapy in appropriate cases, or mastectomy depending on the extent and characteristics of the DCIS.
The reassuring part is the prognosis for DCIS is excellent. More than 98% of people diagnosed with DCIS are alive five years after diagnosis.
So Stage 0 does NOT mean “nothing.” But it also does NOT mean the cancer has invaded the breast or spread throughout the body.

If you or someone you love receives a DCIS diagnosis, ask: “What are the features of MY DCIS, and what are my treatment options?”
Understanding the diagnosis is the first step toward making an informed decision.

“Breast cancer doesn’t run in my family.”
That’s good information to know. But it does NOT mean you have no risk.
In fact, only about 5–10% of breast cancers are considered hereditary.
Family history is an important risk factor, but it’s only one piece of the picture.
Age, breast density, certain previous breast findings, reproductive and hormonal factors, alcohol use, physical activity, body weight after menopause, and other factors can also influence breast cancer risk. Breast cancer risk comes from a combination of factors, and some women develop breast cancer without other known risk factors beyond being female and getting older.
So please don’t skip screening or ignore a new breast change simply because no one in your family has had breast cancer.
Know your family history. Know your individual risk, and keep up with the screening that’s appropriate for you.

If you don’t know your breast cancer risk or when you should be screened, make that a question for your next primary care visit.

Breast pain is common, and pain by itself is usually NOT a sign of breast cancer.
Hormonal changes, cysts, medications, pregnancy, injury, infection and even pain coming from the chest wall can cause breast discomfort.
But I want you to pay more attention when the pain is:
• Persistent rather than coming and going with your cycle • Focal which means consistently in one specific area • New or getting worse • Associated with a new lump • Accompanied by nipple discharge, nipple changes, skin dimpling, redness, swelling or other new breast changes
The American College of Radiology considers persistent, focal, non-cyclical breast pain more clinically significant and recommends imaging in certain patients based on age and presentation.
So no, breast pain does not automatically mean cancer.
But “it’s probably hormonal” shouldn’t automatically end the conversation either.
Know what’s normal for your breasts. If something is new, persistent or changing, speak up.

Save this for the next time breast pain has you wondering whether you should get it checked.

“But I just had a normal mammogram.”
That’s reassuring, but a new breast lump still deserves evaluation.
Mammograms are an important screening tool, but they do not detect every breast cancer. And most breast lumps are NOT cancer.
So what happens next?
Your doctor may examine the area and recommend diagnostic imaging, often a targeted breast ultrasound and/or diagnostic mammogram depending on your age and circumstances.
And if the lump remains clinically concerning, a normal imaging result doesn’t necessarily end the evaluation. The American Cancer Society specifically recommends having any new breast lump or change evaluated even after a recent normal mammogram, and the American College of Radiology guidance supports further diagnostic evaluation of a palpable mass rather than relying on screening results alone.

The takeaway:
A normal mammogram is reassuring. But it should never be used to dismiss a NEW breast change.
Know your normal. If something changes, speak up.

Save this reminder, and if you notice a new breast lump or persistent change, schedule an evaluation rather than waiting for your next screening mammogram.

Your mammogram says you have dense breasts. What does that actually mean?
Breast density describes how much fibrous and glandular tissue you have compared with fatty tissue. It is determined by how your breasts look on a mammogram, not by how they look or feel.
There are four breast-density categories. The two higher categories are considered “dense.”
Why does it matter?
First, dense breast tissue and some breast cancers both appear white on a mammogram. That can make certain cancers harder to see.
Second, having dense breasts is itself associated with an increased risk of breast cancer compared with having less-dense breasts.
But having dense breasts does NOT mean you have cancer. And it does not automatically mean every woman with dense breasts needs an ultrasound or MRI. The American College of Radiology (ACR) supports ultrasound (US) including automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) as an appropriate or optional supplemental screening tool for dense breasts, depending on your risk and density level.

Whether additional imaging may be helpful depends on your breast density plus your overall risk, including factors such as age, family history, genetic risk and previous breast findings. So if your report says “dense breasts,” don’t panic. Instead, ask
“What does my breast density mean for my individual risk and screening plan?”
Know your density. Know your risk. Then have the conversation.

Check your most recent mammogram report. If you have dense breasts, ask your doctor whether your current screening plan is appropriate for your overall risk.

We talk a LOT about checking for breast lumps.
But a lump isn’t the only possible sign of breast cancer. And not every cancer will have a lump.
Pay attention to NEW changes like:
• Dimpling or puckering of the skin • Thickening or swelling of part of the breast • A nipple that suddenly pulls inward • New redness, scaling or changes in breast/nipple skin • Nipple discharge that isn’t breast milk, especially bloody discharge • A change in breast size or shape • New swelling or a lump in the armpit
These changes do NOT automatically mean cancer. Many benign breast conditions can cause similar symptoms.

But they do deserve attention, especially when they’re new, persistent or different for you.
And remember, screening mammograms are designed to look for cancer before symptoms develop. If you notice a new breast change, don’t simply wait until your next routine mammogram. Talk with your healthcare professional about it.
Know your normal. Notice what’s different. Speak up when something changes.
Save this and share it with a woman who thinks a lump is the only breast change she needs to watch for.

Someone asked me about the “breast mouse,” and I love this question, because so many women find a lump and freeze. Some panic. Others talk themselves into ignoring it.
A fibroadenoma is one of the most common benign breast lumps, especially in younger women. It’s smooth and rubbery, and it moves when you touch it. That’s usually reassuring.
But “usually” isn’t a diagnosis.
→ Fibroadenomas are non-cancerous and very common → They feel smooth, rubbery, and movable → Only an exam, imaging, and sometimes a biopsy can confirm what a lump is → Any new, hard, fixed, or growing lump needs to be evaluated → Skin, nipple, or armpit changes are always worth a call
This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, know your normal so you notice when something changes. 🎀
Save this for your next self-check, send it to a friend who needs the reminder and follow for more real talk from a board certified physician.

PS Members of my DPC practice usually can text me directly about any new findings. taken in DFW Area, Texas by @zelosdpc

I saw this on Threads somewhere today and my blood really ran cold. Are you seeing this advice online to ditch your mammogram for an ultrasound? If so that’s dangerous. Mammograms are the only imaging tool proven to detect microcalcifications which are tiny calcium deposits in the breast that can be the earliest sign of ductal carcinoma in situ or invasive breast cancer. ultrasound doesn’t see them. At all! Ultrasound cannot replace mammograms. They look for different things. Replacing one with the other leaves dangerous blind spots. Supplemental ultrasound is evidence based for women with dense breast because it catches an additional 4 to 6 cancers per 1000 women that mammography misses. But it works because it’s layered on top of mammography not instead of it. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and American College of Radiologists all recommend mammograms as the foundation of breast screening. If you have dense breasts, ask your doctor about supplemental ultrasound in addition to your mammogram: skipping your mammogram based on social media advice is not a wellness choice. It’s a gamble. Save this and share this to any woman in your life who is on the fence about getting her mammogram. taken in Dallas, Texas by @zelosdpc
