Just over a month ago I found a lump on my left breast, I was referred to the hospital to have a surgeon examine it and she did a fine needle biopsy and sent me to have a Mammogram and Ultrasound. During my ultrasound the Radiologist told me the lump looked very suspicious and was most likely cancer, I was absolutely devastated. I'm 37 years old and have a 4 year old boy and a 7 month old baby girl. I have since had the results from my fine needle biopsy and it is indeed cancer, but I won't have an official diagnosis till I receive the results of my more detailed biopsy which was done later. I was referred for an urgent MRI last Thursday but have still not heard anything and I'm now freaking out that the cancer is growing and spreading I was told by the Radiologist that the cancer is nowhere else and not in my lymph nodes, but that was over a week ago, how long could it take to spread? I have private health insurance through my work, I guess I'm just wondering how long people usually wait to get their MRI and if it would be worth calling my insurance to go private?
