“When you look at the radiograph of the dense breasts, it honestly looks like a snowstorm. And you're trying to find another white thing in a snowstorm.'
“If a woman has extremely dense breasts, we know two things about that. One, it makes the cancer harder to find, but... it also makes that breast more prone to have cancer in the first place,” said Dr. V.K. Gadi, a medical oncologist and deputy director of the University of Illinois Cancer Center. “When you look at the radiograph of the dense breasts, it honestly looks like a snowstorm. And you're trying to find another white thing in a snowstorm.
“I would hope any woman with dense breasts, it's automatically the guideline to then have an ultrasound. A mammogram didn't find my cancer,” said Trina Brucato, 51 from Mokena.Brucato recently went in for her yearly mammogram. After it was deemed abnormal, she was called back for a diagnostic mammogram. The radiologist ultimately determined she had a benign cyst.
“When I went back, they said, 'We found another lesion.' And I thought, 'Well, they just did all that other stuff. That can't be right,'” Brucato said.
