Re: Weird Mammogram Report
Dense breasted women are 4 - 6 x more likely to get BC. This little fact came out in a study from Princess Margaret Hospital (here in Toronto) in January 2007, a couple of months after my diagnosis. My GP told me she already figured there was a correlation, as she had seen many dense breasted women in her practice get BC - especially pre-menopausal like me (I had just turned 48 at diagnosis). But who knows - I had a clean mammo and ultrasound 3 months before I had the breast reduction when my plastic surgeon found my tumour. Started getting breast MRIs afterwards on my remaining breast. A couple of years ago my density was down so now I only get a mammo.
