breast cancer mri

Hi lovely ladies  

New to this forum but Hope you are all as well as we can be x

Dont know if anyone has had this happen ,

Got my diagnosis in March , one lump found , had an MRI to check everything before my surgery , my treatment is surgery and radiotherapy,  saw my Doctor after the MRI for the results but unfortunately she said they had seen 2 more lumps so she made an appointment for an ultrasound and biopsy of them both , the radiologist doing the ultrasound said she couldn't see them ? I'm going back to my consultant on Wednesday for the results of the biopsy but never had it done!! Could the MRI be very sensitive and picked up lumps that were not there ? Very anxious now incase the surgeon decides to leave them if she finds them during surgery , has anyone else had a similar experience between the results of am MRI and an ultrasound?

    Hi Ollymag,

    A very warm welcome to our forum. I am so sorry to hear about the further confusion that your MRI seems to have caused. You will find it helpful to write down a list of any questions before you see your consultant on Wednesday. If possible, get the help of a friend or family member to do this, as they often think of different questions than you do.

    Rest assured that if something has shown up on mammogram, your surgeon will make extra sure to look for these and remove them at the time of surgery, if s/he deems it necessary. I am surprised that the biopsy wasn't carried out regardless of the findings.

    I hope that all goes well on Wednesday. Please let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Hi Ollymag,

    There are worse things than an early menopause. Those 5 years fly by. Waiting for your results is one of the hardest part of our cancer journeys. Do you have  a family member or friend who you can confide in. It is a great help to have someone who you can bre your soul to. I expect that you'll find this forum very helpful too. It is often easier to speak to a stranger who has experienced what you are going through without upsetting family or friends.

    I shall be thinking of you tomorrow.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
