Hi @kedisaacs , I had a single mastectomy and a DIEP Flap and TNBC -- the scans I get are the blood scans, a Pet CT yearly, and a chest MRI and a left mammo yearly, alternated with each other so it's either MRI or mammo every 6 months.

I should imagine you could maybe alternate a CT or PetCT with an MRI with a double mastectomy, so you are getting scanned twice yearly, if they say no mammos needed.
