Two years ago Beingdense.com began an awareness initiative for Irish women on the subject of Breast Density.
We began having read an article writren by Nancy Cappello a breast cancer survivor with dense breasts, who spearheaded the Breast Density Notification law in the State of Connecticut in 2009.

Beingdense.com would like to hear from Irish women on this health matter.
Light it up ladies, let’s talk Breast density.
