@2r3b In 2019 in had a 3D mammo and results came back normal. I had DCIS in 2004 and after my lumpectomy, I always ent back to my breast surgeon yearly for an exam. I felt, they are in the breast business and know what to feel for vs Gynecologist. When I moved I found that I didn’t have a breast surgeon and that was part of my medical preventative protocol if you will. I continued always having yearly mammograms & all was fine. Finally I made an appointment w/ a breast surgeon, recommended by my PCP. He studied my mammo and said ‘due to your dense tissue, let’s do a MRI’. I didn’t realize they even did MRIs of the breast. Lo & behold they found something, it was cancer.
I now have alternating mammo & MRIs every 6 months. My oncologist was alternating yearly but my surgeon said ‘if we are going to check you let’s Check you & recommended 6 month checks’. I feel you need to insist on the MRI. Blessings
