I too was told I had dense breasts and needed a mammogram each year and a mammogram plus ultrasound every second year. To my disguist, none of these picked up my lobular cancer(stage 2).It was only at surgery that it was measured at 12.7 cms. This is a story of discussion on ACA that will be aired this week. My story should invoke serious discussions. I was not offered other breast screening methods for dense breasts. This would definitely save more lives.
