Detecting cancer in women with dense breasts: MRI?

Yes. I have very dense and cystic breasts and they follow me every 6 months. That is why they do the 3D mammogram. It sees more then traditional scans. And I get bilateral sonograms to make sure the breasts are stable. Look at the bottom of the scans report. They grade via Birads. That should give you an indication of what is happening as well as the doctor.
Ps: I had an MRI a few years back. It showed up all white so they could not tell much b/c of that.
Best of luck.

My breasts are dense too.. what bothers me after going through breast cancer that years later , my breasts are sore. I’ve mentioned to drs nurse ( on phone) it scares me if my cancer came back. All I get for responses is in July I have appt so it could wait 😫 What kind of answer or reassurance is that?! How would the nurse know that, at times if you never been through cancer like alot of us they don’t understand the anxiety, depression and the frightening thoughts that goes through my head wondering if my cancer has come back. So now I wait till July and hope🤞I have nothing worry about 😢
