Great article to bring awareness to this issue Susie! I also have dense breasts and usually get sent for an ultrasound post mammogram.

This is fascinating, Susie! Thank you for sharing. Do you know if there is a connection between breast density and fibrocystic breasts?

Thanks! and you're welcome! i think it's important to spread the word when we learn things so important as this! As for fibrocystic breats and a connection, I don't know. But now you've got me curious...

Thank you for this. I have extremely dense breasts and am prone to getting cysts, so I have been getting mammograms and often follow up with ultrasound since my thirties. I wish I had this information back then!

You're welcome! If had no idea either, until I listened to the podcast. Was perfect timing for me. I hope those cysts calm down for you!

As I grow older, down seems to be the only direction for all things breast related.
