Re: Weird Mammogram Report

Wow! No one EVER told me I had dense breasts or asked me about my breast density or anything! I was told to get a yearly mammogram (2D), and call if I had any problems.

Smile Re: Weird Mammogram Report

I'm so grateful I have this information now. No one in my city offers a 3d mammogram. But, I found one place an hour away that offers 3d mammograms. The insurance will pay for the 2d mammogram,...
