In news 4 your health today, following your doctors recommendation is usually the best course to protect your good health. But sometimes thats just not enough. And trusting your own judgment might make all the difference. Doreen gentzler has the story of one womans medical journey and her message. Doreen . Hi, jim. Angela ball lives in bowie, maryland. She works for nbc universal. When she felt a lump in her breast in 2016, she followed doctors instructions and had a mammogram and she had an ultrasound. The doctors told her everything was doesnt end there. The thing that bothered me was that no one had informed me of my right to get a 3d examination. And apparently the 3d exams are going to be most beneficial for patients with dense breasts. Dense breast tissue pretty common especially among africanamerican women, and it can make identifying breast tumors more challenging. Its an important part of this story. Angela ball started having yearly mammograms four years ago at age 38. Thats sooner than doctors usually recommend. She started early because africanamerican women have a higher risk of developing Breast Cancer at a younger age. They tend to get it under the age of 50 more often than white women. And were getting it under the age of 50, it does tend to be more aggressive. Ball thought she was being proactive. She felt a lump and acted quickly to investigate. They called me back and they said, youre going to need followup imaging and i went and everything came out normal. Thats the news we all want to hear, right . But soon ball felt some pain in that same breast, and even though the test had just come back negative, she went back to her gynecologist who wisely sent her for another mammogram and ultrasound. And that time they determined there was a suspicious finding and then i went straight to get a biopsy examination. And within days i had been diagnosed with stage 2 Breast Cancer. Trusting her instincts might have saved angela balls life. Now she had to make some choices. But in my case, i knew that i wanted to do the bilateral mastectomy because of the fact that when i had my mri, multiple tumors were presented and it was going to be very difficult to proceed with a aluminumectomy. Dr. Regina hanson treats in Prince Georges County county. She told us one critical tool in getting accurate diagnosis for women with dense breast tissue is so, 3d mammography has been found to find 20 to 30 more cancers and find them at earlier stages. Today angela ball is cancer free. Had she known a 3d mammogram was available and a better option for her, she says she would have had that first. Thats why she wants to get the word out to other women who know they have dense breast tissue. Thats kind of been my message since that false diagnosis. If you know you have dense breasts, get the 3d imaging. If i had waited until my next mammogram the following october, i dont know how far advanced my cancer would have been. And the other lesson from angela balls story, trust your own instincts when it comes to your health. If youre uncertain about something, ask more questions. Get a second opinion. Be your own avenue ka. It could make all the difference. We dont always know the questions to ask. Right. That was the case there. You trust yur right. But, you know, maybe in that case, maybe the question was, is there another test that might be more accurate at detecting whats going on here. Good for her. Shes doing well. Smart, good for her. Sharing her story with all of us. Now were smarter. Thanks, doreen. An unusual ad campaign by ikea targeting pregnant women. Asking them to do something. Some might find icky, but get discount.

Notice starting to see some echos here, radar returns, that means trying to feel a little bit of rain, but nothing really making its way to the ground just yet. More now to the south. You see this batch right here, were going do see this batch first overnight tonight. Then we get into the real rain. There is a storm system thats developing. We have one storm to the north, another one we will to the south that is going to make its way our way. And really bring in not just the warm air and the transof chain, but maybe a chance for some thunder. Dont see that too often in the month of january.

We get a break during the afternoon hours. That break coming in right during the evening rush possibly. That will be good news before another line moves through. That one could have thunderstorms with it. Thats with the actuary of low pressure passing over us. A couple rumbles of thunder, heavy downpours, maybe gusty winds with that. And then it moves through. And behind that, oh, the cold air moves in and boy does it get really cold. So, what to expect during your friday . Periods of rain, heavy at times. Some thunder, it will be possible. And much colder as we head into saturday. How much colder . Well, a high of 67 on friday. 36 on saturday. But by the time we get morning, it will feel close to 50 to 60 degrees colder. Were talking about wind chills in the Single Digits overnight saturday night into sunday. Sunday a very cold day.

Im Erika Gonzalez here at the live desk with a developing story.

According to people briefed on the meeting, the president quote, why are we having people from these countries come here . The president referring to african countries and haiti.

The transit agencys board has given initial approval to a plan that would credit riders who are more than 15 minutes late on trains or buses during rush hours. It could start as early as this month. This is a story you saw here first on 4. Transportation reporter adam tuss has been following this from the beginning. He is on the orange line tonight with details of how this works. Wendy. 15 minutes or more late, you get a refund. Weve been waiting on this train to show up. Were going to take a ride here. If you are late, you may be getting Something Back from metro. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting to get where you need to go on metro. And now a plan that would essentially refund you the cost of your rush hour trip if youre delayed by 15 minutes or more is closer to reality. Were introducing a reliability promise. It boils down to this. If youre delayed more than 15 minutes during the rush hour on either a train or bus, your trip is on us. Reporter the credit goes back to your smart trip automatically on the rail side. For the bus youd have to fill out a form. Riders smiling over the news. I think thats a great idea, especially most of the time i am at least five minutes late. Reporter metro says any rush hour delay caused by something other than weather or a scheduled project is covered. As one source puts it, this is the mostge guarantee ever put together. I think its pretty good. The refund keeps them on time. Reporter lets show you how this could work. For example, this week there was a rider who tapped into the Dupont Circle station and bethesda. It should have taken 20 minutes the longest. It took this rider over 36 minutes. Credit would have been given because it was a delay of just over 15 minutes. And again, metro says youll automatically see the credit on the rail side. Amanda fletcher rise every day between vienna and macpherson square. Shes expecting some money back. How often would you say youre 15 minutes late in your mind . Id say at least five times out of the month for sure. Reporter for now metro hoping this wins some riders back who may not want to deal with the delays. Yeah, riders on board this orange line train, what do you think, good idea . Good idea, yeah, theyre talking about it. Absolutely. Thiss now, guys, the full board expected to vote on this in two weeks. If its passed then, it will take effect by the end of the month. Back to you. All right. Adam tuss, rolling on the rails for us. Thank you, adam. New warning tonight about takata airbags.

It cost the company tens of billions of dollars in settlements and fines. Have you been following the story in Fairfax County of max the dog who beat the odds .

Bureau chief julie carey checked with Health Care Providers here to see how theyre adjusting. She joins us now live outside anova Fairfax Hospital with the story. Julie . Reporter hey, jim, at this hospital and Health Care Providers across the country, flu cases are on the rise and so, too, is the demand for iv fluids. Here at anova, they say they are not in a pinch. They saw that shortage coming right after the hurricane hit and they acted quickly. Iv bags used to dispense fluids and medication, the hospital goes through several thousand every day. Their supplier baxter, its puerto rico Bag Manufacturing plant left without power after Hurricane Maria. How are we going to take care of our patients in the cni and what are we going to need to do to start conserving our supply . Reporter the doctor is the pharmacy manager. He said they responded to the shortage by centralizing all their iv fluids to keep better track of them. Theyre conserving, switching to oral meds when its an option. We were doing tablets instead of an iv. It is the same medication oral instead of iv. Reporter iv fluids also in high demand putting a strain on the supply. At some hospitals like this one in the boston area, oral hydration with gatorade is replacing ivs in some cases. But the fda says the crunch is easing. Issuing a statement reading, in part, the production situation in puerto rico remains fragile. We expect the shortage of iv saline fluids will improve in early 2018 with continuing improvement in the weeks ahead. The doctor says even with more flu cases coming, anova and its patients will be fine. Were seeing some improvement, i think we will be okay as far as increased anticipated needs. Reporter and we checked in with another Big Health Care provider in our area, med star health. They say they, too, are making adjustments similar to those at anova.
