Detecting cancer in women with dense breasts: MRI?

My breast cancer did not show up on 3D/ Dx mammogram. Doctor found lump on annual visit. I had to push for an ultrasound which lead to stereotactic biopsy. The cancer was confirmed. Glad I didn’t take Radiologist recommendations to wait 6 more months. Just finished my 5 year AI treatment. Due to my dense breast tissue and hx of breast cancer, they are going to continue mammograms and MRI rotation every 6 months. Radiologist Oncologist told me the MRI is not a problem even after having radiation treatments and the dye normally isn’t a problem for people w/o kidney disease. I feel better having a check every 6 months considering my dense breast tissue.
