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 ...
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 ..
