“Let’s Talk” Dense Breasts Event

Going in for an annual mammogram may seem like a no brainer (with a hint of nerve bugs), right?  Well, here is the thing: not every mammogram is perfect. Sometimes, they can miss cancer detection in dense breasts. And MISSING cancer detection is an incredibly scary thought.

Tomorrow I am honored and excited to participate in an important panel called “Let’s Talk” Dense Breasts. It is a Google+ event (my first time!) moderated by Carol Evans, President and Founder of Working Mother Media. It features advice from healthcare professionals Nurse Barb Dehn, Dr. Jessie Jacob, and yours truly!

This panel of experts who understands or has experience living with dense breasts firsthand is joining together to discuss what every woman needs to know:

How you can find out if you have dense breasts,
Risk factors associated with breast density,
New legislation in certain states that gives you the right to more information, and
How to talk with your doctor about whether additional testing may be right for you.

We will provide valuable insight on a variety of breast exam options available beyond the mammogram. You can also submit your own questions for the panel to engage in an open conversation on all issues with dense breasts.

This is a topic I think every woman needs to know about – her breast health. To attend, just add the “Let’s Talk” Dense Breasts Event on Google+, taking place tomorrow, October 8, from 9-10am ET.

‘Let’s Talk’ and learn more about breast density together.

Hope to “see” you tomorrow!
