@roch Laurie, I had a mastectomy, no treatments, 7 yrs ago. I have always, since then had a mamm & MRI yearly also per my oncologist.
Do you feel you want to co time with this protocol? I’ve been thinking of asking my oncologist about alternating Mammograms & MRIs yearly. I’d be interested in your thoughts on this. Thanks!

I do plan on continuing with mammograms and MRIs for monitoring. Two sisters also had breast cancer that was caught early. Genetic testing shows no genetic reason. My provider said there probably is, just something that research has not found yet.
I once asked if I do MRIs, are mammograms needed, and was told yes.
As long as insurance (Medicare) pays for it, I will continue the imaging.
