Architectural Disortion

Dena_01

Good morning all - It has been a while since I have posted and I am back in the circle again due to the area of distortion that has become more prominent in 3D imaging. Update on the surgical consult form 1.5 years ago: I went to a well known specialist with all images and my benign (yet discordant) pathology and he believed it was pretty much up to me to have the distortion removed due to discordant results. Either that or short term follow-up. Since I am not much of a worrier by nature and to be honest was quite tired of all of the incongruent medical advice/results after 6 months of multiple tests and such, I chose to take a break for 6 months. Well, life can be funny and give you other things to deal with so fast forward to now, I had my 3D mammo and follow up US yesterday and they took quite some time to come back to me with results (which I am so grateful I get results the same day from a dr.) Basically, the area of distortion that was previously biopsied has grown. (Before it was 11mm) They got the team together since my case is "complicated" and best decided that another MRI was necessary to see if the nodule that shows only on MRI has grown as well.

My question is (which I didn't ask yesterday because it has been a while since I have researched this) - has anyone had a circumstance regarding distortion changes after biopsy? I have read quite a bit that distortion can be caused by previous biopsies. But then I read that the distortion heals or decreases over time. It has been 1.5 years and is larger.

It is all very, very confusing.

Thank you for any insight.
