Invasive Lobular Cancer (ILC)
Hi all, I have just discovered that ILC is lumped into general ductal breast cancer. America research have started to recognise there are huge differences. Treatment in Australia is the same as ducta...
@berry Good on you for contacting them ... You can make that an additional 20% of women failed by Breastscreen NSW - so 30-35% - as they actively discourage 40-49 year old women from getting free mammograms (altho perfectly entitled to it!) They tell them to see their GP instead.
NONE of their advertising includes 40-49 or 74+! :( ALL are able to access free mammograms.
Did BSA say the mammograms in the BUSES are going to be 3D as well? Whilst much better than the 2D - they are still not good enough for picking up all/most ILC - and yet they refuse to advise their clients who have dense breast tissue that they may need alternate scanning (US or other.) They do in WA!!
