Hi momdeeco. You should have your Onc write an appeal and explain why the MRI was necessary.

I also think the every 3 month thing is a bit much.
Can you point out why your Onc ordered it that way? Is it because you had to stop Herceptin?
If so, I would have them do a new Muga scan and see if you can get back on it now, since it's been awhile.
