If a girl knows she has dense breasts, and mammograms aren’t reliable for her, what else can be done? Ultrasound, MRI? I couldn’t get the hospital to do an ultrasound even with orders from my oncologist. I hope this will make thorough testing easier.

This is a good change.

Yes I have dense breast I found a lump in 1999 and was told it was dry milk. In 2013 they found a 10 pound tumor in that same breast. I was diagnosed with stage 3b inflammatory breast cancer. I was belittled, blackballed, and terminated by my oncologist.

FDA proposes rule to notify women with dense breasts of higher cancer risk and imprecise mammogramsThe Food and Drug Administration is proposing a rule that would require doctors to tell women how dense breasts may influence the accuracy of their breast cancer screenings and encourage women with dense breasts to talk to a doctor. He do o i don't know why the FDA bother itself on such issues, after all Liberals we consider it part of healthcare since they already see inconvenient pregnancies leading up to abortions as healthcare. Well I guess is older women don't know this information, my question is instead of giving us the same information we already know, what alternate testing process have you came up with to help solve this conundrum. For us older women? Keep screening the same as before 😕

Please provide a source. Didn’t the government already declare that these were ok? Could scientists ever be wrong? Can those people harmed sue those who said it was ok? Science is a foreign concept at the Trump FDA. Another attack on a women's health and well-being.
