I’m right with ya! Early detection is all we have! Mammo finally picked up my invasive lobular as very dense breasts and MRI showed it bigger at 1.8cm. My margins weren’t great so did last 3 as boosts radiation. No scans recommended at Dana Farber, Boston for entire year so my mammo is regular oct month but why would we be on same schedule as women who have not been diagnosed with cancer? I’m sure I will have to pay out pocket for an MRI! Why is this case and I’m tired of hearing docs fear anxiety over false positives! I know no women who would put that above early detection! Let’s hang in and advocate for ins coverage of breast MRIs xo

I’m shocked you aren’t on the 6 month protocol. I had ADH which is not cancer but indicative of an increased risk and I’m on the 6 month protocol. Which is essentially a mammogram and mri yearly.
