Thank you @JJM - I am going OK. But sadly, Breastscreen NSW still refuses to advise their clients of their breast density (altho Breastscreen Sth Aust and Western Australia do!) This really needs to be changed, as adding an Ultrasound to the screening for women with dense breasts, might pick up cancers a lot earlier.
They can SEE that you have dense breast tissue when you have your mammogram .... and they KNOW that dense breast tissue shows as 'white', as does the tumour! 'White on white' = invisible!!
If there is ONE THING to change re breast screening, this is it. We need to be told that we need additional testing to be more certain of no tumours.
Check out this thread .... there are many of us who were not advised of their breast density ...
