I was like @arpie. I wasn’t advised about my breast density at the time of my initial diagnosis, but I have since asked my surgeon to advise me when I had my ultrasound sound and 3D mammogram at the 12m check up.
The relevance to me of breast density only became evident through the resources on this forum about Invasive Lobular Carcinoma (ILC) and how breast density can make it harder to diagnose instances of ILC. In my case, even though my initial treatment for ILC had been completed, breast density was still relevant to the adequacy of the ongoing monitoring and screening tests recommended by the oncologist and surgeon.
