Many thanks, @Mez_BCNA ... is the Sydney Morning Herald article the same article as in my top post? You can't read the SMH one online unless you buy a subscription .... or if someone with a subscription could either screen shot it, or save it as a PDF, that would be awesome.
As the RANZCR has already SAID that it should be mandated to advise patients of their risks if they have BC with dense breast tissue - why on earth are they waiting ANOTHER YEAR, discussing whether to or not?
They've already made their statement saying YES, it needs to be done - and THEY ARE THE EXPERTS. So, it doesn't make sense - and it only delays more women finding out their own breasts may be their downfall - and many with a more advanced BC diagnosis, straight up, possibly even terminal. :(
From last year on the ABC - another powerful article .... make sure you click on the 'drop down tags' too ..
