Kelly Hu Instagram – 🌸Part 6 with Kelly Hu: 40 Years of Screening Mammograms, Knowing I have Dense Breast Tissue…Still Told ‘We’ll Decide’ on the Ultrasound 😤
“I told her immediately, ‘I need an ultrasound also. I know that I have extremely dense breast tissue because I’ve been having mammograms since I was 18 years old.’ And she said, ‘Well, I’m not going to recommend that for you. We have to wait until you get your mammogram, and then the radiologist will decide.’
After 40 years of mammograms and knowing I am extremely dense, an ultrasound should have been immediately offered. When my results came back, it confirmed what I already knew but it didn’t recommend the screening that could make a difference.
Women shouldn’t have to fight for the screenings they need. Awareness, advocacy, and access to supplemental screening are critical—especially for those with dense breast tissue.”
