Hi
i recently has a mammogram and ultrasound followed by biopsy
my results letter came today saying cysts and firoadaeama
but then went on to say I needed bloods and MRI????
I'm now scared what else they found! Why would this be needed??
thanks

Hello and thanks for posting,
I can appreciate your current concern.
Sometimes, a doctor will want to do another form of imaging, to get additional clinical information. This would be to confirm the findings from other tests already done, and to assess the size and extent of any breast disease, such as cysts etc. MRI scans are being used more in younger women, as they provide detailed images. I am not sure which blood tests have been requested, but they are often done to measure the level of hormones, amongst other things.
Hopefully, you will get to find out more soon from the breast clinic,
Best wishes,
Vanda
