@anjalima I totally agree about MRIs. That is how the dr found my cancer. I have dense breasts. Had a uni-masectomy about 2 1/2 yrs ago. Thank goodness for my dr wanting to see more into the dense tissue. I have yearly MRIs w/ Mammo @ 6 months in between. Blessings & praying for the best results.
Update : saw your post! So happy all was good.

I’m also on an alternating Mammo/MRI 6 mos apart. It’s the only way to find that snowball in a blizzard if you have dense breasts. Also it’s the only way to see the silicone boob environs on my unilateral reconstruction right side.

Glad you are getting both also. Unfortunately We need to ask for this additional screening ! Wish it was standard for all of us. 🌸
