Hello Everyone,

My cancer as well as many others did not show on mammograms. Is dense breast tissue the only reason? Or are there other reasons? (I hope I'm not showing my ignorance here.)

Also I have read on this site that some people their cancer did not show on mri.? Is this for a different reason?

Is there a test that will show all cancer and maybe the cost is to high?

I appreciate any info that follows!

Thanks so much!

Nancy
