[My Density Matters @mydensitymatter]

We are thrilled abt the new FDA ruling, starting Sept of 2024, women must be notified if they are dense or not, and that density is a risk factor for developing breast cancer. This is really progress. Thank you @AreYouDenseInc for getting that party started! #mydensitymatters

NEWS! The FDA has issued a new rule requiring “dense breast” reporting to women and their referring providers. DBI has more information about the ruling here: https://t.co/cxcvtFvVMy

[Lisa Fletcher @lisa_fletch]

The FDA acts for women today!

The agency now requires mammography facilities to notify women about their breast density - a risk factor for detecting cancer.

See our investigations that pushed for this:

[Lisa Fletcher @lisa_fletch]

This is SO important!
Make sure you know. And discuss with your doctor.

[Andrea Nejman @AndreaNej]

Breast cancer affects so many families.

Promoting awareness about breast density has been a focus of @SOAInvestigates reporting for years.

PLEASE read about the risk factor and tell family and friends so we can make sure no women are left in the dark!

If your #mammogram report says you have dense breasts, you may need additional #breastcancer screening. Discuss results w/ your doctor; ask for more screening to find breast cancer early while still curable. @SOAInvestigates @AndreaNej @jocefromthenews

PFAS is a global issue - that every expert we talked to says will take a global resolution.

Our @SOAInvestigates piece on PFAS was translated and posted in Japan by a Japanese journalist covering the issue. @7NewsDC @AndreaNej

[Lisa Fletcher @lisa_fletch]

ICYMI - this is the investigation @AndreaNej and I have been working on for the past month.

Let me know if you've dealt with this issue in your area.

[SpotlightonAmerica @SOAInvestigates]

As we head into Thanksgiving, we're investigating what's in the water coming out of our kitchen faucets.

We did exclusive tests for toxic #PFAS chemicals in water, everywhere from the suburbs to the US Capitol.

Are young female veterans at a higher risk of a breast cancer diagnosis?

@SOAInvestigates reports in Tampa, Florida.

Pregnant and going through chemo.
We talked to an incredibly brave woman for our latest story about breast cancer and veterans.

[SpotlightonAmerica @SOAInvestigates]

Female veterans are receiving devastating diagnoses of breast cancer at young ages.

@ChrisDaniels_TV sat down with Jessica Purcell- just 35 years old and pregnant when she was diagnosed.

Are servicewomen at higher risk?

[Lisa Fletcher @lisa_fletch]

ICYMI - Last night @7NewsDC announced the FDA committing to early 2023 to publish long-overdue language so all women with dense breasts are aware of the risks and options.
Rep @rosadelauro kept pushing @US_FDA to make it happen. Listen to what she's after next for all women!

[Andrea Nejman @AndreaNej]

So exciting to know there's finally a timeline for when EVERY woman in America will be informed about breast density.

With this critical knowledge, women can have important conversations with their doctors about breast cancer risk.

[Lisa Fletcher @lisa_fletch]

UPDATE: Rep @rosadelauro's office tells me the @US_FDA will finally finalize language to notify women about their breast density by early 2023 .
The Congresswoman's kept the pressure on the agency for 3 years.
See why in our investigation:

[Lisa Fletcher @lisa_fletch]

It's #BreastCancerAwareness month - so why are so many women NOT aware of their breast density? It's directly linked to cancer risk.

I talk w Rep @rosadelauro on @7NewsDC about why FDA isn't moving faster make sure women know their density & know their risk.
