I have dense breasts and Mammos did not recognize my 3 tumors whereas the MRI did. Although the mammos don't "work" for me, my onc suggested I get them anyway since the scar tissue may mimic a tumor on MRI...
I get a mammo, ultrasound and breast MRI (for both breasts) once a year. And I started 3 months after radiation.
