It depends on clinic, I have dense breast and only have ultrasound if see something on mammogram. With history of breast cancer, I alternate every 6 months between MRIs and Mammograms.

Are rotating MRI and Mammograms standard of care post-cancer in your state or is that something you and your oncologist agreed to? The reason I ask is because somewhere along the line, I had heard or read this regimen s/p ILC for remaining native breast tissue and now can't find anything to support that.

Edited to add that I just now re-read the American Cancer Society recs and they specifically say there isn't enough evidence for or against use of MRI for screening for people with history of ILC, only for those with high-risk factors. Having had BC apparently doesn't make you high risk.
