Yes! My lobular cancer didn’t show up at all on my mammograms. I, too, am categorized as a C density which is homogeneous. The radiologist couldn’t read the ultrasound either because of my density. Only the MRI showed it. We are being treated like sheep. Just follow the norm and do what our docs say but it isn’t good enough- not by a long shot!

Exactly. We need more self advocating!

I think there is a group Densebreadts.org going to look
It up and get involved!

PS: my local breast center in NJ will do MRI for $400 if no insurance. It’s a good idea to get to know the cost in your area.

Good luck 🌸
