Same here, mammograms since 41..... 2 "clear" aged 45.... 5 cm tumour of nowhere!!! I wasn't told a thing, and didn't think or know anything about breast density, being both a risk factor and reducing tumour detection..... thought I was doing the right thing, as I had 2 older female relatives that had breast cancer. Its a disgrace that all Australians aren't given this information, uniformly across Australia, and not just in WA...… My GP didn't really know anything about this either! Also said that dads side relatives weren't an issue!!
