Stop telling women they are too young to have breast cancer

Absolutely, @suki, be honest with your feedback, specially given your diagnosis.  ... I thought that Breastscreen WA was one of the ones that DID tell their clients about their density?  I know they advertise 40+ for the screening ... (unlike BSNSW who keep saying 50-74!)

I even gave BSNSW a 2nd chance to 'diagnose' the cancer & they had another radiologist review the mammograms & they STILL missed it - they gleefully told me I didn't have cancer (after I'd had surgery & radiation!) I gave them an earful!

Yes - even if clients are advised that an ultrasound/MRI may be beneficial, due to the difficulty in finding tumours in dense breast tissue on a mammogram ... then it is up to the client to 'do it'.   I would like to think that most would google about 'dense breast tissue' and realise the implications ..... 

All the Free BreastScreening states need to do, is make a note on their report to the GP, that the client has been advised of dense breast tissue and further investigation is suggested.

Sadly, having a more advanced diagnosis would definitely be a possibility if other methods of detection are ignored.  :(

take care xx
