MRI results shows enhancement

MRI is not 100%, even if the docs make you believe it is. My twin had enhancement, biopsy, and it was b-9. I had the exact same spot that showed enhancement and mine was cancer.

Not sure what your question is...yes, they will do a biopsy. Mine did not show up on ultrasound, even after the MRI, so I had to get a second MRI to find the mass and get the biopsy.

You can't know what you'll face till you get results. Try not to stress (I know, so easy to say) until they tell you what you're dealing with. I wish you luck and a b-9 result!

Lobular cancer is sneaky and MRI is typically the gold standard for picking it up. I'm happy to hear you have a proactive doctor.

My 7mm mass on MRI turned out to be 1.8cm in real life. You can't plan and know anything till ..well...you know. Best to you.

Hi. I just had an MRI guided biopsy yesterday. It was a much easier process than I anticipated. No actual pain beyond uncomfortable in MRI - hard to raise arms over head for long time because of lymphedema from lumpectomy 18 years ago. My "area" did not show on Ultrasound, either. It showed on a PET scan and the first MRI so I was scheduled for an Ultra Sound guided biopsy which could not be completed cause they could not see the spot. My second MRI, done yesterday, showed the area and a biopsy was accomplished. I had a very small prick when doctor started numbing but I would not even call it pain - momentary mild experience when I thought "Here it comes." but then - nothing beyond a bit of pressure. My concern about pain before the procedure was more difficult than any discomfort during actual procedure. I hope all goes well for you. I will get my results next Monday. If it is indeed back, it will be my 4th go around with cancer. Breast cancer in 1998 with lumpectomy, radiation and chemo. Then uterine and fallopian cancers in 2003 (both were determined to be primary cancers and not mets - therefore stage 1). I had hysterectomy and chemo - bald again - for these cancers. I do not know if current - potential - cancer is a new primary or recurrence. If it is a new - that would make it my 4th primary cancer in 18 years. My mind is spinning as I am also a diabetic and thus very slow healing and prone to infections so I am trying to decide on surgery - one or both breasts - then what about reconstruction. Can I stand to go flat on both sides? Am I even capable of healing from massive surgery if both breasts are removed and reconstruction begun? Lots to think about. I hope I have alleviated any concerns about the MRI biopsy. The only difference in my first MRI and this one was they held my target breast pressed in a screen yesterday that the doctor used to guide him to the correct area for taking cells to biopsy. He removed 9 tiny sections for testing. I only know that because I counted as his machine made a small vacuuming sound 9 times. Then the nurse held pressure on my breast for a while and then wrapped me in a pressure bandage for 30 minutes. I went home with steri strips and instructions to take it easy for a few days and use ice packs. Very mild discomfort night of procedure but nothing Tylenol couldn't cover. I hope all goes well for you. My good wishes go out to you...
