Hi, I am 54 and was told that I have dense breasts, as well. I have a mammogram every year because [breast and other] cancers run in my family. I know that seeing your doctors, especially when you have had specific issues is vitally important. I have not been diagnosed with any issues with my breasts, other than being told that they are dense, but due to a motorcycle accident years ago I have had a lot of experience with doctors and other therapists over the become a believer that if you don't feel good about one [or more!] of your doctors or therapists, there is usually a good reason for this. It might be that they don't know as much as they would have you believe, maybe they have made a false call about something and ae trying to cover-up their mistake, or they simply don't know what they are doing.

If you have dense breasts you need an ultrasound as well as the mamagram .

I am having a masectomy soon as I have now got lobular cancer after a lupectomy fpr DICS==about a year laterllobular cancer was told to me after urging my consultant/surgeon over the phone---im afraid iam still in limbo and have had to deal with this alone and im77years----I got no explanation as to what or where i am with this type of cancer and feel have been treated with indifference.. and she gives me the impression she is either going through some form of crisis herself or simply cant relate to people shes quite young with 3 of a family---so im grateful for any kind of information available.
