Re: [cancercured] Re: How Accurate Is Your Mammogram Reading?

The only way to get the breast MRI is with the dye. No dye, no reason
to do the MRI because nothing will show up.

False positives are common with MRIs. I had to fight three doctors to
get one - and I was diagnosed with breast cancer! I can only imagine
how hard it would be to get one if you haven't been diagnosed.
