Wow! I thought that it was just me having a thought bubble! Goodness. It's not just during screening that they'd have known about the denseness of mine. I've had docs do physical checks for years and comment on what dense breast tissue I have and so I've known that, I just didn't understand the implications of that! The only thing that I've ever been told is that implants (which I don't have) make it difficult for screeners to see everything. Of course, now it makes sense that dense breast tissue would be a big problem for many. I cannot believe why every doctor isn't told to send patients for additional screening if they have dense breast tissue. It could prevent so much suffering and additional medical fees.
