Guest guest Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 To the Group - I have a question regarding breast cancer scans in general. I'm trying to assist someone who is looking for the most cost effective way to get scanned - she has no insurance, and 2 years ago did lumpectomy and radiation and has been doing clean diet no other intervention. She had tumor, no DCIS or obvious spread of cancer at her last PET scan at that time. Is the typical routine for breast scans, in this order, mammogram, ultrasound, MRI - and does one need a prescription for all of these? Where does thermography fit in and might it be the best choice both diagnostically and cost wise for someone like this? I don't know the answer to this - since I deal with a different type of breast cancer only MRI is indicated to follow my progress, I am not required to do the other breast scans according to insurance. thank you! cathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
