MRI finding

tasia,  I haven't had experience with something like that on my MRIs but I wanted to respond so you don't feel alone! I'm glad you have an ultrasound to get it looked at closer and gain more info as to what it is.

I'm sorry not to have answered you, but I don't have an answer.  Like you, I had a right mastectomy. It seems like every time I go in for what is now an annual mammogram, I hear something a bit different about a/some finding/s there.  Oddly, it never worries me much. I know that, with our history, they look closely but don't want to put us through any more than they have to.  But I haven't heard anything about a "linear" finding, so I can't offer any comment except to wish you the best as you wait.

just wanted to let you know that when i was 1st diagnosed, i did have microcalcifications in my other breast. that issue kind of got dropped and forgot about, during th bigger matter of the definate cancer, which was a lump. well, a year later, the place i go to finally decided to give the good one a mammo, which is when they told me they would need to be biopsied. instead of watching and waiting another six months to see if any changes were happening. so i did the biopsy, actually nine cores, and they removed them all. when i read the report they did before the biopsy, it said clustered linear, and branching. apparently not a good pattern to see. i was xtremely worried, all for naught. came back benign, even tho it was a birads 4. that is a pattern that can be dcis, cells marching in a duct, or it could be nothing at all. i am giving you a hug right here where you can read it, because i do truly understand what it means to get a call back. hoping for a boring report, when you get it. like, nothing to see here! 

I agree with Nan that it may be a false positive. MRI's are notorious for them. I had an MRI before my excisional biopsy and it saw an enhancing mass, but further investigation with the ultrasound showed nothing and the biopsy showed nothing.
