Dense Breast info - which USA states advise their women .....

"...Having dense breast tissue can hide a tumor on a mammogram and also increases the odds a woman will develop breast cancer. And yet, for decades, women with dense breast_ nearly half of all adult women and even larger share of young women_ were not told that the value of their annual screening mammograms was diminished by this fact. Women (in America) might still be in the dark if not for a Connecticut woman named Nancy Cappello. Diagnosed in 2004 with advanced breast cancer, just six weeks after a supposedly clear mammogram, Cappello learned she had dense breast tissue, which likely obscured her tumor on the screening test. After undergoing treatment, Cappello founded o nonprofit advocacy organization called Are You Dense? and started lobbying states and the federal USA government to pass laws requiring that mammogram results include information about breast density….At least thirty-five states now (2019) require women to be informed about their breast density after they undergo screening mammograms…. The information empowers women to talk to their doctors about whether further screening using other methods might be warranted. Sometimes this means MRI. More frequently, though, women at high risk of developing breast cancer are scanned with ultrasound"

It is time Australian women have the same right. 

Could BCNA lobby for this ?
