Having had a bil mastectomy because IBC is not usually detected on mammos this is no longer an issue with me. Before surgery I had them every 6 months because of dense tissue. The last time I was told to wait a year and I made it to 8 months and was diagnosed with IBC. I think it is what ever your doctor orders. hugs, Sandy
