Anyone experience regional recurrence of stage 1 ER+ BC < 5 years?

After my second follow-up 3D mammogram at Moffitt in Tampa I also asked about getting an MRI done on the next visit and was told it wasn’t needed. The NP assured me that their equipment would spot the smallest growth. I’m not totally convinced after reading testimonials from others about how their cancer didn’t show up on mammogram.

I just don't understand why these docs do not rally behind us ILCers - especially with dense breasts. Early detection is all we have and the argument that we might have to "chase" benign issues is not something that most of us "worry" about. Also they may say the long term mortality is no different with early recurrence but how'bout the quality of life?
