Lobular Breast Cancer: Let's share and support each other

This was the Radiation Oncologist who said this. The first time he said his hospital group is advocating mammogram only as the new guidelines and implied that the other groups were wrong and in past. The 2nd time I asked him, he said that most women do not want MRI's. (His hospital group may not do them without a push on my part.)
The other group is doing mammograms + ultrasounds in the same visit. But ultrasounds do nothing and show nothing for LCI.

Hello @timely - honestly, I would push for the MRI. You can always get a second opinion, as well. Reading your post, it doesn’t seem like you are comfortable with the recommendations given by your radiation oncologist, so I’d advocate to have the MRI. There’s a reason why you feel the way you do, so go with your gut and push for the MRI. I wish you all the best!
