"You have to be your own advocate." 💗
Local breast cancer surgeon and survivor Dr. Shoshana Hallowell (Shoshana DeAnn) recently spoke with TheDetroitNews about something every woman should know: breast density matters.

For women with dense breast tissue, cancer can be harder to detect on a mammogram alone—but you have options.

Dr. Hallowell shares her powerful story to remind women that asking about supplemental screening could make all the difference. Ultrasound. MRI. These tools exist, and they save lives.

👉 If you have dense breasts, don’t hesitate. Ask your doctor what additional screenings are right for you.

Your life is worth the extra look.

Advocates say uneven coverage is a barrier for women, and many can't afford to pay out of pocket for additional screenings.

Did you know breast density can impact your risk for breast cancer? 🧬💗

Women with dense breast tissue have a higher risk of developing breast cancer, that’s why it’s so important to know your breast density and talk to your doctor about whether you might benefit from supplemental screening like ultrasound or MRI.

🩺 Ask your doctor:
➡️ What is my breast density?
➡️ How does it affect my cancer risk?
➡️ Should I consider additional screening?

Knowledge is power—and early detection saves lives.

Don’t wait. Start the conversation at your next appointment.
