I was similar to @Arpie and @Tri - found out I had dense breasts from screening at the time of diagnosis (IDC). No info on density from prior mammograms with BreastScreen. My breasts were more than 75% dense.
I have provided written feedback to BreastScreen WA requesting they advise women with dense breasts of their circumstance. I feel this is a simple improvement that can be made with little effort (just an addition to the report they already provide following a mammogram) and has potentially large prevention/down-staging ramifications.
Great that BCNA is advocating for this at a national level.
