@BCNA Thanks for advocating! I had known for some time I had dense breast tissue but didn't understand anything about it until after my bilateral mastectomy when pathology tests showed a second lot of cancer that wasn't picked up in the screening due to the extent of dense tissue. I've since been trying to learn more about dense breasts & if it's hereditary etc. BCNA, thanks for bringing this to our attention
