Detecting cancer in women with dense breasts: MRI?

My first diagnostic was an ultrasound ordered by my midwife, which came out BRads5. I am young (41 now, 38 then) and have dense breasts. UCLA has me do yearly mamos with ultrasounds done the same day, alternating with yearly MRIs so I am checked every 6 months. I like having the ultrasounds in the mix.

Yes… let’s get the whole mix! I get yearly mammo and ultrasound and hands on physical exam … and yearly MRI alternating every 6 mos.

Wish I had been doing that all along.
