Sorry to hear of your diagnosis. Unfortunately women in Australia are not told they have dense breasts which is revealed on first mammogram. As we know Mammograms only pick up 50% of breast cancer. Women with dense breast need to be have breast scan as well which still only picks up 50% but have them together and you have 75% chance of picking up bc. MRI is only scan that picks up 100%. I now have an American surgeon who doesnt muck around. He does 6 month breast examination followed by an annual MRI. My previous breast surgeon wouldn't do MRI saying too many false positives/negatives but my new Surgeon doesn't believe that. I now feel confident. I am 4 years post bc now and feeling wonderful. You will too..
