Hello, yes, I am wondering the same thing. Does anyone know if after double mastectomy without reconstruction, can you still have mammograms? Breast MRIs are still possible. My doctor tells me no screening is needed except just feeling the chest wall area. But by then it is kind of late in stage. LCIS is often times mutifocal and bilateral. They discovered it in my other breast too through post mastectomy biopsy while mammogram previously only showed in one breast. A double mastectomy does not totally eliminate the risk for breast cancer. Still some breast tissue remaining.
