This is really interesting (although I’m sorry you had to go through what must have been tough times). I’ve never heard of dense breasts. It really made me sit up and pay attention.
I walk past the breast clinic on most days, as I happen to work at KCH. Next mammogram I have I will definitely be asking about dense breast tissue!
Thanks so much Lynn. Please do share with whoever you think might find it helpful. Lovely to get a comment (I’ve found substack can be eerily quiet!) really want more women who I know will find my posts helpful to find me on here x
Thanks Catherine. I'm glad you thought so. It's really nice to get some feedback so thank you for taking the time to write a comment. That breast clinic you walk past most days is the one where my whole breast cancer 'journey' began where I breezed in one summer's day to get my routine mammogram. As I live locally I often go past it on the bus too and it naturally stirs up a mixture of emotions now. KCH is where my breast care team are so I've been a regular there and met some brilliant professionals during my treatment. A special shout out to the breast care nurses at KCH and Guys and St Thomas's too. They have been my 'glue' during the most testing of times when I've been emotionally falling apart.
