Do BC survivors have higher risk of ovarian, uterine, cervical cancer?

@kstar077 thank you for sharing your story. Can I ask if the ultrasounds and mri are for checking for recurrence of breast cancer or pelvic for recurrence of the endometrial cancer? I was told with a mastectomy for bc that they will no longer do any scans, not even ultrasound or MRI, to proactively check for recurrences, which is frustrating. They want you to wait until you feel a lump before they'll check anything.

After masectomy there is no breast tissue so I think you do not need mammo anymore or ultrasound or mri. Nothing to photograph. If you feel a lump at your chest or see your oncologist or breast surgeon. I am sure you see them every 3 months then 6. They check you in gp too. Good luck

I had a lumpectomy clear margins no radiation lymph nodes clear. 11mm ILC. 8% chance reoccur. That is why I have ultra sound and mri follow ups. I do not have mammo because mammo did not show my cancer. I felt it.
