MRI after 3D Mammogram - dense breast tissue

My first MRI was after the breast cancer was discovered. I have very dense breasts. I had only been having mammograms until they saw something suspicious then I got a sonogram and then a 3d sonogram. I switched facilities and found out this new one routinely does 3d sonograms on dense breasts so they don’t have so many call backs. Boy I wish I’d known this before. I still wonder if my tumor would have been seen a year ago at my last check up.

I am sorry--I hope you are recovering well from treatment.

Since my experience began, I keep realizing how this is not a "linear" process for me. What I think I will be doing after one appointment might change at the next appointment. I think this occurs as new studies/trials are released and standards of treatment might change. Even so, I am learning, as you did, how facilities/medical professionals might have different thoughts on which tests are necessary, etc.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I wish you all the best as you recover!
