BreastScreen NSW and Qld may be advising of your Breast Density in 2025 - cancer or not!
This article was in the Sun Herald yesterday ..... yet another woman who was given the all clear from BreastScreen NSW (same as me) only to have Breast Cancer diagnosed just months later. USA & UK ...

Thanks @arpie
I was advised I had dense breasts early on but no one ever told me that might make it easier to miss sonething on my mammograms which is exactly what happened to me - I found a lump and turned out to be a 5.5cm lobular cancer only 11 months after I got the all clear on a breast screen mammogram.
It is outrageous that NSW is not following the lead of the other states advising re this.
@Mez_BCNA definately a priority for advocacy .
