Detecting cancer in women with dense breasts: MRI?

@jaynep I think this is a feature of many mammo reports these days. Every mammo report I have read for the last 10 years has included a statement about dense breast tissue. Including those that state there is not dense breast tissue.
I could be wrong but my understanding is MRI is standard every other time for dense breasts. I am sure insurances might be a challenge in some cases. If you have had breast cancer, I wouldn’t think so.
You are getting an MRI next time, correct?

I’m wondering if there is lumps with bi-rads 3 ? Can I possibly request a mri?

Thank you so much! This reassures me a great deal. Yes, I am getting an MRI next time, although I had to ask for it. She didn’t give me any push back and told me she had no problem with ordering it for my next 6 month check-up. I don’t think she would have suggested it if I hadn’t asked about it.
