- The advocacy work Dense Breasts Canada is doing to get provinces to inform women of their breast density status
- Province-to-province disparities for minimum recommended age to begin breast cancer screening.
- What supplemental screening is and the differences between an ultrasound and an MRI.
- Province-to-province disparities for supplemental screening and why we need to advocate to make supplemental screening mandatory for all women with dense breasts.
- How to find out your breast density if your province isn’t automatically reporting that information, and where to find this information if you don’t have a family doctor.
- How this important information impacts women of colour
- Jennie’s wish for breast health in Canada.
