[quote=Anonymous]When I went for my annual mammogram and breast ultrasound last month the office had me fill out some kind of risk questionnaire. Thankfully my mammogram and US were all clear, but I guess the questionnaire showed I am higher risk and I have very dense breasts, so my gynecologist suggested that I also have a breast MRI. I am feeling torn on whether or not I should do it since I hate MRIs and it will likely cost me $500 after whatever my insurance covers. The reason I am high risk is because my paternal grandmother and aunt both got breast cancer in their 50s. My grandmother went into remission until it came back in her early 80s. My aunt’s was not caught early enough and metastasized and she eventually passed away at 58. I am of Ashkenazi Jewish dissent but don’t have the BRCA gene. So all said, would you do it or hold off?
