Detecting cancer in women with dense breasts: MRI?

I have a mammogram alternating with an MRI every six months. Is that sufficient or should I ask for an ultrasound every six months as well?

I think your strategy is the best one as ultrasound not great for dense breasts! My ILC was only discovered with a MRI! Unfortunately even after ILC treatment my onco at Dana Farber, Boston was reluctant.. I was so upset and had to practically beg! Shameful but all these docs get reviewed on their ins referrals!
