Absolutely, I agree with you @Julez1958 , it is disgraceful that all other states do NOT advise clients of their breast density. My own Lobular was missed as well, just 4 months before my wonderful GP at the time found it by accident (when she did a pap smear, she said she'd check my boobs as well.) The next Mammogram & Ultrasound was 'inconclusive' but a biopsy was suggested. Then the guy on the Ultrasound machine said "this doesn't look like breast cancer' ....... but the Dr doing the Biopsy did it anyway - and there were 2 tumours, both Lobular.
I agree - BCNA needs to put this on high priority for advocacy - as women are being diagnosed at a later stage, which can be devastating - some being diagnosed with Mets, straight up.
