I am a survivor of stage two invasive breast cancer with 4 lymph nodes as well. My cancer was detected in 2021. I have MRI's yearly to look for any issues. How do they do your exams?

The only thing that happen at my yearly exam ( and this has been the case for the past 10 years) is my oncologist asks if I have an issues and then she feels around the breast implants. Since going on Letrozole three years ago. She did Order a bone scan which showed significant bone loss, so she recommended that I stop taking the letrozole and have a yearly reclast injection to help with the bone loss. I did this, with a severe reaction, and I have not been back for my yearly exam since.
