Detecting cancer in women with dense breasts: MRI?

I had my annual mammogram beginning of May. Mammogram showed nothing ut made note of my dense breasts and recommended MRI. I do have family history of maternal grandmother having breast cancer, radical mastectomies,then bone cancer and she died. I also am Braca positive (as now assume my grandmother must have been). My primary physician sent me a message asking about ordering MRI. I said, yes. MRI showed a mass. Also then had ultrasound which showed nothing. Now scheduled for MRI guided biopsy next Monday.

YES, YOU ARE AT A HIGHER RISK, GLAD YOUR PRIMARY DOCTOR ORDERED MRI. I HAVE HEARD SOMETIMES CT DOESN'T SHOW ANYTHING BUT MRI USUALLY DOES. WISH YOU WELL
