Do you have to have an mri before you start chemo

I have an appointment Monday to see the oncologist to see what treatment I will be on for breast cancer and I was just wondering if you had to have an mri before you start chemo or if anyone just started chemo with out it

  • Hi Charlie_88.  Sorry to hear about your breast cancer diagnosis.  I had to have an MRI before I started chemo.   Consultant said it was because it was lobular breast cancer and more of risk of spreading so just wanted to check.  Do you have a date for your MRI yet..  Good luck for Monday.
