Insist on yearly ultrasound and mammograms. It's standard practice here in Australia. My breast cancer returned on the other side after 15 years. Grade 3 - very aggressive. Dense breasts - tumour was hiding under the nipple so I couldn't feel it.

I don't live in Australia and there is nothing standard here in the U.S.

I can insist all day long, but if the cost is on me to pay full price for the extra imaging, I'll go broke. Many are in the same position.
