I would definitely push for MRI. Since the MRI can examine my reconstructed boob side and it’s environment.. when there is no breast there… it should be the same for a non reconstructed environment; still chest wall and nodal system.

If your insurance won’t pay find out what it would cost you. In my area one could purchase this for $400.00. It was once thousands .

We need to self advocate for screenings regardless of our breast status. We are forever at risk.

Since I didn’t have reconstruction, I wonder how they can do the MRI. Normally one would lay flat on her stomach with the breast hanging into a hollow depression. Would it be done the same way if I have no reconstructed breasts?
