Another MRI...when does it stop?

After three days of calling, leaving messages, bugging the scheduler --- I have been able to have my 2nd MRI scheduled for Monday.  I talked with the BS last Tuesday, and she wanted another 'look-see' and possible biopsy of my "good" breast (the one the mammo said was clean).  On the MRI last week, the good breast had an 'undefined' area --- and now I am praying (something I do constantly anymore!) that this test to check the area ends up being negative.  I get so frustrated because I truly just want to get a plan and move on it --- and I am hitting roadblocks along the way.  I am trying so hard to remain calm --- but I feel like the longer this DCIS is in me, then it can be spreading and becoming worse.   Am I being silly in obsessing over the time it is taking to get to the surgery?

I think it's normal to worry but most likely the DCIS isn't changing that quickly.

I agree that it is normal to worry, but I think the danger of overlooking another suspicious area is greater than the danger of the known DCIS becoming invasive or spreading significantly in a few weeks.  Just keep pushing your way through this!
