Can an MRI be read incorrectly?

Hi all, just wondering if anyone had any experience with an MRI being misinterpreted. So for example an area of concern is actually fibrosis of the soft tissue? 

I'm in limbo at the moment and was told cancer had returned in 2022 then told no cause for concern... now in 2025 I'm being told its back. 

Just trying to rationalise things. 

  • I'm sorry to hear you've been told your cancer has returned xxHHxx. This must have been very difficult to receive this news.

    Hopefully some of our members will get back to you soon but if you'd like to discuss this further with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all that they can to help.

    We're thinking of you xxHHxx and hope you're able to get some clarity over this soon.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
