My doctor orders rotating mammograms and MRIs and my insurance pays for them. I am considered high risk because my sister had bc, I have dense tissue, and never gave birth (adopted kids). The mammogram caught the DCIS a few months ago. There is also something called an MBI now, but I don’t think it’s as accurate as an MRI. I have to take Xanax before an MRI, as I feel claustrophobic.
