Oh, I thought it was already the law. I guess just in my state, not federal.

I have dense breasts. My oncologist was giving me shit saying that I was old and didn't have to worry about dense breast anymore. You should have seen the look on his face when he saw the last mammogram - PRICELESS! I laughed my patooty off because he is exactly one day younger than I am. So if I'm "old" today, he will be tomorrow, LMAO!

My Paget's did not show on the mammogram, or the ultrasound. It did show on the MRI and found 2 additional lesions that were more like a thickening than actual lumps.

Ladies, I think we need better imaging. Digital mammograms are an improvement. But have you seen how vague they are? MRIs are over the top with detail.

And I'm going to post another thread with a conversation about the confusion with reporting dense breasts.
