Gosh, @fufan and @Cath62 and @Julez1958 - how 'lucky' were you that your GPs or Mammogram people actually told you that you had Dense Breast tissue - but how neglectful that they didn't explain the very serious ramifications in that it makes BC detection almost non existent, tho it IS there, hidden in plain sight! Cath62 in particular - what a wonderful GP to suggest you having ultrasound as well!
In my 20s I was told I had 'lumpy breasts' ... not sure if this related to the fact that a Dr found benign cysts ... of if it related to dense breast tissue ...
It is SO important that every girl is aware of their breast density and the ramifications if they don't know - being later diagnosis than they should have ... and the scarier bit - possible straight up diagnosis for Mets :( It is Medical negligence, at the least.
At my most recent MG - the radiographer told me that my boobs are now virtually clear (I am assuming it is the AIs that has changed that density?)
