This is a female question. Is there anything PsA related that affect your mammograms or the results?

I had some dodgy mammogram results that have caused me to get ultrasounds and mammograms every 6 months over the last two years. I have talked to the breast specialist and to the rheumatologist and neither knows of a link between PSA and nodules in dense breast tissue (which is my particular issue). It does seem rather intuitive to see a link there but perhaps there's a tendency to see a link between PSA and whatever ails us?

I have to go back in 6 months. The found cysts in both and these issues started about the same time as the PsA.

I've never had an abnormal mammogram.
