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

[Dr. Paula Gordon @DrPaulaGordon]

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.

[Dr. Paula Gordon @DrPaulaGordon]

***In this study of >5M women in Sweden, 86% of women with breast cancer had NO FAMILY HISTORY! Even those with one 2˚ relative were at increased risk. PLEASE get screened

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 https://t.co/F3jbRZKvNo

@jaydoespeople Wow!! Thumbs up Jake! What a phenomenal accomplishment!

[densebreastscanada @densebreastscdn]

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?

[MichelleDiTo @MichelleDiTo]

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.

[MichelleDiTo @MichelleDiTo]

@kabensen @LungCancerFaces @HenryBensen @jfbensen @MayoClinic @MayoCancerCare Yes you are going to keep kicking it’s ass! Keep pushing forward Katherine... You got this!!!!
