Well said! Those categorized as A density are okay- until they aren’t. A means the breast is completely fatty with no occulsions so everything can be seen. They are the lucky ones but there aren’t that many women with no density. B is a partial density. Not all through the breast but don’t be fooled. Cancer can still hide in that. I’m a C- heterogeneous and D is extremely dense. Both my grown daughters are rated D. They both called their docs and were immediately set up for additional screening on an annual basis.

Also don’t be fooled if you think no one in your family has had breast cancer and, therefore, you won’t get it. It may be back in your lineage and you don’t know it because they didn’t talk about breast cancer. It starts somewhere!
