My 3D mammogram was clear but an ultrasound detected #TNBC. Insist on additional screening before it’s too late. Mammograms miss 50% of cancers in dense breasts triplenegativebc.org Joined March 2022

A new targeted therapy delays cancer growth 34% longer than standard chemo in people with advanced hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer whose cancer has grown despite previous treatments. #breastcancer #bcsm #asco cancer.net/blog/2022-06/2…

Contrary to popular belief, a 3D mammogram is likely still not enough for you if you have #breastdensity. T/W your doctor about additional screening if you are dense. Thx @MFCovington @sleplae

New #densebreast review from @CurrentOncology: "[tomosynthesis] does not obviate the need for supplemental screening for women with dense breasts" and tomo "does not bring equity in breast cancer screening in women with dense breasts." @mydensitymatter mdpi.com/1718-7729/29/5…

When #breastdensity masks #breastcancer on a #mammogram, it can hinder early diagnosis. This is why additional screening is needed for women with #densebreasts. We MUST #FindItEarly to survive the disease, and the earlier the better. #mydensitymatters #factfriday

@mydensitymatter Yes! I have ZERO family history of breast cancer but was diagnosed with triple negative at age 45 after a “clear” 3D mammogram. If not for a routine, follow up ultrasound, the cancer would not have been found until too late. Insist on more screening!

Up to 40% of cancers in extremely dense breasts will NOT show on a mammogram? Up to 25% will NOT show in heterogeneously dense breasts. WHAT? Add'l screening after a mammogram increases cancer detection. Get Educated to #FindItEarly. @DenseBreastInfo

@JonnieLoukili The good thing about AC is that the first few days you might feel some effects, but it turns quickly and you will actually have some good days (at least I did). Once I started taking a strong antacid (40 mg, prescribed by my doctor), a lot of my side effects eased.

71% of all #breastcancers are in women with #densebreasts, yet most people don't know their density, or that it elevates their risk of developing #breastcancer. Do you know your #breastdensity? Learn more: mydensitymatters.org #mydensitymatters
