Awaiting MRI results and anxious

I've been lurking for a while trying to bring up the courage to post. I'm awaiting results from an MRI done five days ago, but this journey started back in February when I found a underarm lump, which of course I dismissed as unimportant. Happened to go to my Gyn for an unrelated issue and mentioned it in passing. He sent me for a mammo and ultrasound, which showed nothing. He wasn't satisfied, since there was obviously a lump there, and referred me to a breast surgeon. Before and during all of this I'd been experiencing everything from nausea, fatigue, weight loss, just to name a few, so I'd undergone various tests, including a pelvic scan, all negative. The surgeon examined me and ordered another ultrasound, which again, showed absolutely nothing. This was in Sept. She insisted that there was nothing to worry about so I went home and tried to relax. Then sometime after that I started noticing my right breast shrinking! And a distinct difference in the nipple and aureola (On same side of lump) and the shooting pains I'd been experiencing became difficult to ignore and a kind of thickening which hadn't been there before. So I desperately got back in touch with the surgeon, she again dismissed these things as nothing to worry about, but yet was able to have my insurance pay for an MRI.

So here I sit, Christmas day, trying to tell myself that no news has to mean good news?

So anyway, if anyone took the time to read this, thank you, this was sort of a purging for me.

Thanks for your reply. I got results of MRI today and was told there were areas of enhancement. I don't know what this means but another US will be scheduled to look further into that area(s) and depending on what it shows she would schedule a biopsy. She told me not to worry, that the Dr didn't seem too concerned, but of course I AM concerned. I thought I would get a definite answer this time, the not knowing is so stressful.

Letyourlightshine,

The waiting is most definitely the worst part! Let's hope you have some answers soon so you can move forward. I know it feels like you're in limbo with the not knowing.
