6:42 am
a cancer. we capture images right up in that armpit area. >> the clinic's physician says the ai software hasn't misdiagnosed any breast cancer since using it three years ago. the typical breast screening age is 40. some women prefer ultrasound screening because it's free of radiation, and there's no age restrictions or doctor referral needed, and for others, it may be more effective than traditional mammograms. a study by the national cancer institute found mammography is more likely to miss cancer among women with dense breast tissue. >> we've actually looked at this very carefully, and this has been going on for a long time. so if you have dense breast tissue, it it does you it's hard to get sound waves or x rays through the tissue. >> doctor laura esserman is a surgeon and breast cancer oncologist at ucsf, where she is the director of the breast cancer center. she says ultrasounds typically have high false positive rates, adding other options for women with dense breast tissue, especially

6:44 am
head in the sand and think, oh, i'm not at risk. i'm a young woman and i don't have family history. look at patients like williams, know family history and diagnosed in her 30s. >> coming here expedited my entire experience. >> it wound up to be like a very rare, very aggressive cancer. if i waited months for appointments in the hospital systems, it could have been even worse. >> after six months of chemo, we're happy to report she's now cancer free. jenna shared so much strength and as her story pointed out, when it comes to ultrasound screening, it's never too early to try it. and that screening does cost $350 if you try it at eve and you can learn more on their website. eve wellness.com. all right. how's it looking outside, frances? >> it is looking wet and very cloudy, especially from mount tam. as we look towards the bay in kentfield, we already have 0.55in of rain just this
