Hi Scorpiowoman
Like you I had several different types of imaging including mammogram, tammography, ultrasound and now have MRI every 6 weeks as I'm having neoadjuvant chemo at the moment. My doctors have found that the MRI definitely is giving them the best information and infact has picked up some small DCIS that other imaging did not find ( I have IDC).

Good luck with your tests. I hope you get happy results.
Take care
