Show Notes
Do you know if you have dense breasts? Neither did Jennie Dale. Until she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Then she got mad!
Outraged that women in Canada are not informed of their breast density and how it impacts their breast cancer risk, Jennie co-founded Dense Breasts Canada.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- Why every woman needs to know her breast density score.
- How to determine breast density.
- When to start breast cancer screening.
- When you might need supplemental screening.
- How to assess your breast cancer risk.
- Why we need to advocate for better breast screening guidelines.
Everyone should have a yearly mammogram starting at age 40. If you have dense breasts or other risk factors, you should also have supplemental screening. Please help spread the word.
