Concerns about Dense Breast Tissue and Breast Cancer Risk

so like 5 years ago after I had my second kiddo, my doctor told me I had dense breast tissue during a check-up. I was freaking out, but she calmed me down and explained that it just means I need to keep an eye on things. So, I started getting yearly ultrasounds and making sure to do regular self-exams. No biggie! Just being proactive, you know?

Hi there! It's totally understandable that you're feeling concerned after being told you have dense breast tissue. While it's natural to worry, it's important to remember that having dense breasts doesn't automatically mean you'll develop breast cancer.

It's common.

dearie ,I had dense breast tissue too, and it was a factor in my breast cancer diagnosis. But here's the thing: I wish I had known about it sooner! My doctor told me 3D mammography is good for early detection. And another thing is , please get familiar with your breasts and keep an eye out for any changes. Stay strong and take it easy!
