WONDEFUL @Romla ... my question would be along the lines of .... if WA has no legal or ethical problems in advising women that they have dense breast tissue and may require Ultrasounds rather than Mammograms .... why are the other states refusing to do so? Early detection (in the long term) is less invasive, less stressful to the patient and family and less costly to the patient and Medicare .... so what is the problem? If not given all the facts, an informed decision cannot be made. We already sign an indemnity form before the mammogram is done .... yet it is almost useless with some forms of cancer due to the dense breast tissue camoflaging the cancer.
