I have I have a lump in my right breast. I m a sexual abuse victim, so women s health care is EXTREMELY difficult, if not impossible, for me. I had a mammogram and even 2 mg of Ativan didn t help! The mammogram came out OK, no dense breasts, but when I had my last on 3-1/2 years ago, I was told that I had heterogenously dense breasts. I m sick and tired of conflicting stories. Exactly who am I to believe? Can dense breasts clear up? I am 56 and was 53 and in menopause when I had the last screening. I must also say this is just informational for me, as, due to my abuse history, I will never again receive women s health care in my life. I had a hysterectomy at 33, so, in my opinion, it is not important to go through the horrific anxiety.
