Mom, wife, CoFounder of Dense Breasts Canada. Cancer made me mad and it made me brave. I am kind, but I am not naive.

Absolutely. False alarms certainly cause anxiety. The greater anxiety I see in women at any age,is when they are diagnosed with a large cancer, that could have been diagnosed when it was small, if they’d had optimal screening.

Time for credit card companies to reduce their sky-high interest rates to 1%. Charging folks 18-20% during a pandemic is blatant profiteering during a crisis when many are seeing their incomes reduced. Visa, MasterCard, American Express, etc - do your part!

New Brunswick women who participate in the Breast Cancer Screening Program will now get breast density information directly, along with the results of their screening mammograms.

There is just no future in sending hard-earned tax dollars to the big banks, in the form of interest payments. That road can only lead to a cliff which we don’t want to see.

On September 21, 2018 BC became the first province 2 share breast density information with all mammogram results sent 2 women+care providers. @BCCancer has produced the attached video that provides important health information on the subject. @MitziDeanBC youtube.com/watch?v=hiVrE2…

The evidence shows women who have mammograms are 40-44% less likely to die of breast cancer than those who don't. @BCCancer @CancerCare_ON @CancerCareMB @cancersociety @SaskCancer @AHS_media @EasternHealthNL @Health_PEI @IWKHealthCentre @HorizonHealthNB @VitaliteNB @CancerStratCA

@TaxDetective @densebreastscdn @celliottability @fordnation @MinistreMcCann @BrianPallister @CameronFriesen @PremierScottMoe @francoislegault @CancerCare_ON @CancerCareMB @SaskCancer Hi Eileen, just curious where you got this information? Did you have an experience?

English

densebreastscanada@densebreastscdn·30 Ara

2019 was a year of progress on breast density notification for women in 🇨🇦, but postal code inequality exists when it comes to information given to women about their cancer risk. For full details on notification in 🇨🇦 please check out bit.ly/37qFQ9D

MichelleDiTo@MichelleDiTo·31 Ara

Note BC residents. Mammogram letter tells you your breast density and if you have Dense Breasts (C&D) MSP will pay for your breast ultrasound. JUST ASK your Doctor for a referral. Thank you @adriandix for@making this happen. Let’s get the rest of the country caught up now.

densebreastscanada@densebreastscdn

Thanks to @adriandix and the BC govt for implementing this a year ago. As a result, cancers missed by mammograms have been found earlier in women with denser breasts. Until there's a cure, let's find cancer early and small.
