Of course we wish your wife and you, your companion, luck reaching the ultimate goal - a cure, and of course we know that getting a yearly mammogram does not mean we won't get breast cancer. In fact, for women whose estimated odds of getting breast cancer is 20% and above, the current recommendation, besides a yearly mammogram, is a yearly breast MRI.

Say, mammogram in January, breast MRI in July, then mammogram against next January, then MRI again next July, etc. But if the odds are lower, the insurance may not pay for the breast MRI.
