Listening to it now! Every year I get a back-to-back mammo and ultrasound (dense ladies unite!) I also had a meeting with a genetic counselor who talked to me about my risk for various cancers after I had all the genetic testing. Stay vigilant, ladies!
Nope, I've never gotten a breast MRI because my lifetime risk is 19% and insurance only covers those with 20% coverage and up. None of my doctors have thought it dire enough to pay out of pocket for an MRI yet.

And go write your book, Jaime!
I can't tell you how happy I am to hear that you're a Boob Vigilante like me. With our histories, we have to be. I LOVE YOU
Thanks for this. I re-listened to No Need to Argue - agreed, it really holds up. And I scheduled my mammogram. Boom.
Well done, you!! This makes me happy.
Thank you so much for sharing this vulnerable post ❤️ curious if you ever got the MRI as well, especially since you have dense breasts? I recently learned about dense breasts and the need for additional screening from my favorite podcast, We Can Do Hard Things. Curious if you’ve listened to this episode? https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/we-can-do-hard-things-with-glennon-doyle/id1564530722?i=1000659350204

Oh yes I remember you saying that factoid now, ughhh.
