My Triple neg breast cancer was an incidental finding from an mri scan of my liver/upper abdominal area.
When called to the breast unit it wasn't detected on the mammogram but confirmed by ultrasound and biopsy.
The surgeon said my breast tissue was dense hence not seen on mammogram.
That was 3 years ago, when I had my annual mammogram this year the lady doing the scan and I were chatting and I asked about dense tissue and dhe commented that she had been talking with colleagues about mammograms and accuracy with women with dense breast tissue. I have thought about it and I don't get the reassurance I should from mammograms. Is there a better alternative on the nhs?
I know how vital early diagnosis is and was so lucky that my cancer was caught early by the afore mentioned mri
Thank you for your time in reading this and apologies for waffling
