Question on DCIS outcome

Could I ask if they said why they recommended an MRI? I did raise having MRI’s with my surgeon back in December but she said it wouldn’t be deemed medically necessary so insurance won’t cover it and the research to date doesn’t support any screening after DXM - but I’m like physical checks are not enough when it comes to DCIS in particular. Any insight your surgeon gave you would be appreciated as I go back in two weeks for my next review. Thanks

My breast surgeon and plastic surgeon perform the operation at the same time. Able to do reconstruction- didn’t need extender since I wasn’t going larger and didn’t care if smaller. Just wanted the cancer gone and was lucky he was able to do it then. Plastic surgeon performed skin and nipple sparing surgery with nerve grafting to try and get some feeling back down the road. I was told if it does recur it will be in the skin and most likely within the 1st 2 years
