Re: Dense Breasts
Me too and I was ticked off my GP didn't tell me. I would have gotten an MRI or ultrasound. I changed GP's after chemo (wanted a doc to see me right away if I got sinusitis or something while on chemo). But - "gosh darn it" I was mad at the dense breast report year after year. Sometimes they said the tissue was so dense they couldn't see anything - go figure.
After my oopherectomy and Arimidex, my breasts are now "see through" - whew!
