I'm meeting with the MO/RO/BS/PS and my OBGYN in the next two days. I have concerns regarding my remaining breast. What doctor would I want to bring that up to? Or more than one?

    I had the same thought when I was going through this! All the focus was on the one breast and, though it's uncommon, I was concerned that something could be going on in the other one. The BS ordered a breast MRI which shows both breasts. She was doing it primarily to make sure that there weren't more areas in the one they were concerned about, but she also felt that would give me reassurance for the other side. I also requested (and got) a mammogram and MRI of both after neoadjuvant chemo.

    When I have concerns and have a scheduled appointment coming up I tell whoever the specialist the appointment is with and they tell me who I should get to look at it and I then make an appointment with that person. If I am seeing a few specialists over a short period of time then I tell all of them. Basically I keep telling people until I feel heard and am comfortable with the proposed action.

    This happened to me did you have a Breast MRI after your first Biopsies? There was so much concern about the breast they found that I had to push for them to make sure that the other breast was cancer free. Turns out it wasn't but that is uncommen.
