I agree with all you ladies. Women should be told. I didn’t even know breast tissue could have different density, so of course I wouldn’t have asked for more than a mammogram. Before all this, I knew absolutely nothing. So me not asking wouldn’t have been because of a lack of interest but because of ignorance. What I choose to do with that information is my business, but we definitely should be told!!! I wanted to have an ultrasound because my breasts were naturally lumpy. If I’d known about density as well, I would’ve been at my docs every year requesting scans! And that is what they don’t want. To pay for extra scans because a ‘woman thinks she might have something.’ Not important in their eyes. Stuff them. Our lives are important and we need to fight for them. Good on you @arpie!! 💪🏻👏🏻
