Detecting cancer in women with dense breasts: MRI?

I had double mastectomy in April this year and when I met w oncologist after the surgery she said since I had mastectomy there would never been any mammograms, mri or ultra sounds going forward unless I complained of symptoms that warranted a test. So that tells me if I had a reoccurrance by the time I have a physical complaint I would be at a late stage.

Should I advocate for myself and ask for ultrasound every year?

Yes. Go fir everything they throw at you. My friend is now in a wheelchair 17 years after she had her mastectomy NCOs a rogue cell git into her spine and lungs!! There’s no guarantee that even with aftercare treatment that all will b well but at least giving the cancer a good kick, makes me feel better. Keep fighting cid no one can do this, except u. Xx
