SPECIAL SATURDAY TOUR FOR CHARITY November 16 - My Density Matters, fund raising tour at 9:00 am. OUR 3-HOUR INTRODUCTORY TOUR WITH PROCEEDS BENEFITING MY DENSITY MATTERS. My Density Matters is a not-for-profit founded to inform and empower women to find out their breast density and take action to seek additional screening if necessary. Early detection of breast cancer allows women the best chance of favorable outcomes and survival. However, breast density is a key factor that can impact the ability to detect cancer at an earlier stage. Not only does breast density make it more difficult to find breast cancer on mammograms, but it also increases one's risk of developing breast cancer. Our organization focuses on providing all women with information and tools that empower them to take charge of their breast cancer screening. This is accomplished through local community programs as well as national programming to help women get the breast cancer screening, they need to maximize the chances of finding their cancer early, while still curable. Ultimately, we envision a world where breast density no longer hinders the early diagnosis of breast cancer.
