Hi Jane
MRIs are imperative for women with dense breasts. They are routine elsewhere in he world. MRIs pick up all breast cancers. A friend of mine with breast cancer had mammograms and scans and breast cancer was detected. Surgeon went in and removed carcinoma but could not get clear margins. Went in again and again could not get clear margins. SO FINALLY the surgeon ordered an MRI and two large tumors were found in this breast that was not picked up on mammogram or scan or during two surgeries! We have to keep fighting for MRIs to be standard. It will save a lot of money on the health care system to detect breast cancer when it is microscopic ergo 100% cure. BCNA have put something together for the Govt. Let's hope they are successful. If not, we have to keep lobbying and keep trying. Suexx
