My wife got a false negative screening and then a few months later was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. The cost of dealing with false positives seems much less than the consequences of a false negative in our experience, so I agree with your sentiment.
- sebmellen 5y agoI hope your wife is doing alright. It is always shocking how quickly life can change.

- mh- 5y agoMy wife is a survivor of stage 3 metastatic. We deal with false positive scares around once a year at this rate, but I'll take them every time over not finding something in time. I'm very sorry about your wife.
