I was also told I have very dense breasts, but not that this put me at increased risk, just that they get less dense with age (39 at diagnosis). I had small b cups and a very palpable multifocal tumor spanning over 9cm and it was still not visible on mammo, but very obvious and cancery-looking by ultrasound. My breast clinic now have a new mammo machine and told me it's very reliable, even with very dense breasts, so no ultrasound required. I hope this is right!
