3D Mammo and ultrasound did NOT find two large tumors in one breast. I was symptomatic and strongly requested an MRI.. and three biopsies later =IDC

Now, post unilateral mastectomy I am monitored annually with MAMMO and MRI alternating every 6 mos.

Certainly in my case, with dense breasts, MRI is the detection of choice. IMO it should be standard as it finds tumors hiding in dense breasts.
Your health care professionals will make choices based on your profile but self advocacy for MRI is an option too. Best to you and to all of us negotiating this journey. 🌸
