Daughtersofmoms withBREASTCANCER Questions

Hello, I just joined and I have a few questions first of all I'm Stephanie, I am 33 I have 3 kids, I have a family history of breast cancer. My maternial great grandmother on my mother's side died of breast cancer, then earlier in the last year (2007), I was reunited with my oldest sister on my father side, and found out she has lost her breast due to breast cancer, and just recently my oldest sister on my mom's side on Dec. 14th 2007 called and told us she has breat cancer. My mom and her mom which my grand mother passed away with Lukiema some years back, but she had cycst in her breast, my mom and her sister's have cycst, all this I know of and all these women have been dignosed in thier 40's. Just last week I went to the Dr's for my check up. As well as to get the Dr. to order me a mamogram, I was told due to my age the dinsity of my breast my mamogram would not be a true mamogram... Is that true? Well during my manual breat examination the Dr.
thinks in my left breast there is a possible cycst, but she also felt a sizable cycst in my right breast. She called in 2 other Dr's to make sure. They felt both cycst. I have an appointment for an ultra sound in 2 weeks. They felt with my history, I should have and ultra sound. Do you think and ultra sound is better?
