I have/had dense breasts also.
Not only did the mammogram not pick up on my tumour, (ultrasound did)
but both mammogram and ultrasound did not pick up my high grade DCIS, so during surgery (mastectomy) my surgeon did not know it was there and so margins were involved, chemo and radiation has hopefully taken care of what what left behind. This was a year ago now finally I’m going to have MRI, at a cost of $585, (no rebates) because I only had one close relative who has had breast cancer, if there were two, it would be Medicare rebatable. 🤨
