Mri scan for invasive lobular breast cancer

Hi got my results back today I have been diagnosed with invasive lobular breast cancer. I have to have MRI scan to find out the size . Anyone else had to do this .

  • I am waiting for a scan, have had a terrible five weeks with an operation that was said to be for a papilloma (a duct removed without margins which had been the original plan, except around the thing said to be a papilloma). But turns out to be no papilloma at all and all cancer. Okay hat kind is something that the hospital are being very cadgy about and described as "nothing to worry about ductal and a little bit of invasive"  and when queried said to be papillary carcinoma in situ (rare) and also invasive lobular cancer but they still say only affecting one area but also that they can't say more to me  until after the MRI

    its very scary as my GP tells me they are looking at mastectomy and lymph renoval but they haven't said that to me and so I am hoping the MRI is done and looked a lot more carefully than the ultrasound and also that they do both breast a and check the lymph nodes.

    so far the hospital seem to have a real mess of the testing as all imaging said to be normal and we have lost some weeks already and longer to wait for the MRI

    I hope yours is quick and new and wish you lots of luck with it
