I'm happy you went with Dana Farber for a second opinion. While I feel in very good hands, my oncologist is crazy busy and I saw a NP for 3 month appt to review Letrozole. No mammo for a year (in Oct my regular mammo month). Since my ILC was hidden behind a large dense breast with a large benign cyst I feel very lucky! Although I do think it may have been caught earlier had I heeded MA required Density Letter and asked for supplemental scans over the years. My gyno did request a MRI 10 years ago which looked good but again I think another MRI would have been helpful over the last 10 yrs. Why so stingy with MRI for even dense breasts. The NP said MRI only offered at 1 year if I had the BRAC gene which fortunately I do not. I will ask in Oct. if I can have a survivorship plan which includes an annual MRI. I'll keep you posted and just wondering if you could shar your surveillance plan with your 3c stage ILC. xoxo
