You should never have anything but breast MRI. Your insurance should pay for it and if not, it's about $1,000 out of pocket. Have one done every year. I had one done yesterday. Aurora MRI. Took 30 minutes and the pictures were amazing. It can tell the difference in a cyst or tumor, and can see through implants, too. Self-exam good. MRI the answer.

Thanks for the information. I had a bilateral mastectomy and have implants. My doctors are conflicted on the issue of should I or should I not have mammograms.

I will ask for an MRI.
