MRI at Kaiser near SF pre-treatment

percy4

Thanks to ballet12 for suggesting I start this thread to get some advice.  I live in Marin, just outside SF.  I am with Kaiser and cannot afford to go outside for an MRI.  After reading much, I want an MRI before lumpectomy.  Prefer a RODEO MRI, as there seem to be many fewer less false positives, but will take any MRI for the breast if I can get one.  I know I have been "diagnosed" by 2 punch samples (only 2 as the area is so small) with low-grade DCIS, but knowing there are MRIs out there, do not feel fully diagnosed.  When I told MO I'd like one, she said it's not indicated.  When I told her I knew women at Kaiser who've had them even pre-biopsy, she said they probably had a family history or somehing.  They did not.  Am seeing 2nd opinion breast surgeon tomorrow, so need answers ASAP, please, and thank you.  Anyone with Kaiser in SF area (SF, Marin, Santa Rosa, etc.) have an MRI pre-treatment, was it a RODEO or not, was it at least a breast MRI  and not a regular MRI machine, which facility, did you have to request/ fight for it, and, if you feel like saying, who ordered it?  Thank you all so much.  This appt. is my LAST STOP before proceeding.
