Dr Said I have dense breast, Anyone have same problem with me? How to manage stress and manage another test and waiting the result? ( MRI, PET scan and heart Scan ) Manage the chemo etc …. Any help appreciate 🙏
BreastScreen NSW and Qld may be advising of your Breast Density in 2025 - cancer or not!
This article was in the Sun Herald yesterday ..... yet another woman who was given the all clear from BreastScreen NSW (same as me) only to have Breast Cancer diagnosed just months later. USA & UK are now advising their clients of their breast density & explaining the reason why a mammogram alone is not sufficient for women with dense breast tissue. BreastScreen WA and SA are also advising their clients too ..... WHY NOT ALL THE OTHERS? So it will be another year before this study is concluded, then they will no doubt argue long & hard on the 'yay' or 'nay' factors ...... whilst other women are being NOT diagnosed correctly, when they should have been. This is the article, below - you may need to expand it to read a couple of columns at a time, to make it easier to read ... Make sure you daughters/sisters etc are all aware that those living in NSW, Qld, Vic, Tas and NT - are NOT receiving the same 'duty of care' that BreastScreen WA and BreastScreen SA are giving THEIR clients. :( Mods - @Mez_BCNA - can Dense Breast Tissue please be added to the 'Popular Tag List' .... the only one I can see there is 'breast density' ... if you search by 'dense' or 'dense breast tissue' - nothing comes up
