I HAVE DENSE BREASTS... NOW WHAT?

BUT...In Dense Breasts, It will be

much more difficult to see a tumor

Like in this one...

1)  First of all RELAX!  And know that you are not alone.

        2/3 of women 40 years old and greater, have Dense Breasts.

​

2)  Just be AWARE that the risk of developing breast cancer is greater in this 

clique, and is a stronger risk factor than having a mom or sister with the disease.

​

3)  KNOW that MAMMOGRAPHY is not enough for you!  

Because you have more than enough fibroglandular tissue,

your mammograms WILL appear mostly WHITE...

and you know what else is white on mammograms?  

TUMORS!  

 

And with FATTY breasts TUMORS

can be seen more easily.  Like this one...

​

So, this means you will need MORE than just a plain old Mammogram!  

Which brings me to the point of all of this...

​

4)  KNOW your Breast Cancer screening options...
