At Serenity Breast Health and Wellness, Dr. Jilma Patrick, a fellowship-trained breast surgeon, partners with women across the Chicago area to review imaging results, assess breast cancer risk, and provide clarity after an abnormal screening. Let’s explore why getting a second opinion matters and when it’s the right move for your breast health. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/663b813bae214819396a2032/07511b66-356b-45cb-8838-cc68c49f1589/2.png Blog - When to Seek a Second Opinion for an Abnormal Mammogram - What to Expect During the Screening Process While imaging occurs at radiology centers, Serenity Breast Health and Wellness supports you every step of the way: Initial Evaluation: Dr. Patrick reviews your personal and family history to recommend appropriate screenings.

According to the American Cancer Society, about 1 in 8 women in the U.S. will develop invasive breast cancer during their lifetime. While some breast changes are harmless, others may be early signs of something more serious. Knowing what to watch for—and when to reach out to a physician—can make all the difference.
