Major New upgrades on Mammography
Breast Cancer | Last Active: May 13 9:06am | Replies (14)Comment receiving replies
I felt a lump in January 23. Diagnostic mamm and ultrasound found nothing. Requested mri it was denied. Diagnostic in June revealed “architectural abnormality” and biopsy revealed cancer. Luckily stage 1A. Can you believe they still didn’t think an mri was necessary. I demanded one. Now they say I only need mammography. I’m going to demand alternating mri’s as is the recommended screening for breast cancer survivors w dense breasts. It’s unbelievable to me how they hoard the tests.

If your insurance provider declines the alternate MRI’s check with independent diagnostic companies on what they will charge. My husband just had a complete body scan for $900.00. Radiologist reviews your report and a copy is sent to your doctor . All the best

@jessicanell Good job! stay proactive. I pray you are doing well after your cancer diagnosis. Did you have lumpectomy and what other treatment? Blessings to you. Stay vigilant regarding your health. ‘They’ make unhealthy recommendations based on money savings , IMHO. We must advocate for ourselves as you have shown by demanding a MRI. Good job!
