Opting out of radiation or chemo

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?

I’m not entirely sure but I think it’s worth an ask. My reconstruction boob hangs down but the MRI sees the chest wall and nodal environment but also sees my healthy breast. so I’m thinking maybe a traditional MRI might work for you … but I would ask about it.

Read comments in feed “ distant recurrent risk”. There is a very recent post there by a woman who has bilateral mastectomy without reconstruction who received breast MRI’s for ongoing detection.

IMO Worth looking into… and insisting upon!
