I would have thought the only way to diagnose breast cancer would be through a mamogram and then biopsy? (but I'm not a Dr).

A FBC can't give a yes or no, however from what I know your white cell count would be erratic if there was cancer present and would then give the doctor reason to order further tests.

But like all users on here, we don't have medical qualifications however we have nearly all done hundreds, if not thousands of hours of research.
