[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]op - i dont believe i have dense breasts (no one has ever mentioned this). should i be thinking about extra screening?[/quote] If you have dense breasts, it is now required that you be informed - if your mammo was clear but you have dense breasts it will be mentioned in the letter you receive with the results. Unfortunately, the law doesn't require radiologists to tell you the implication of having dense breasts. For years, I received a letter from WRA informing me that my mammo was clear but that I had dense breasts. If the letter had said, "your mammo was clear but you have dense breasts and the sensitivity of mammography may be as low as 30%.". I might have thought quite differently about, for example, doing monthly breast exams and bringing new lumps ip more quickly and getting re-screened more quickly. [/quote]
