Unsuccessful Sterotactic-need advice

I would continue to pursue more testing to rule anything sinister out.. I realise that being younger makes your chances higher of it being nothing .. However from all that I've read in the last year ..being younger also means if something was there that your treatment would need to be aggressive and not delayed. This is just my opinion I would argue for mri if traditional imaging is not sufficient and your doctor is concerned, some cancers are harder to see than others especially in young dense breast tissue. This is not meant to scare you just encouraging you to make educated choices.

Sodo-MRI was exactly what I was going to suggest you ask for. MRI can often see things that can’t be picked up on mammo and/or US. My IDC didn’t show up on any scans til the MRI-thank Hod i had one. MRI is often recommended for younger women with dense breasts because it is so hard to detect abnormalities with mammo and/or US in those cases. It’s possible the 2nd radiologist didn’t pay as much attention to your family history as he should have. They are human and sometimes overlook something. Have any of the women in your family had genetic testing done? If you don’t know, Call them up and ask. It’s amazing to me how often family members had it done but never thought to say something to other family members about positive results. Especially if they didn’t, and even if they did and it was negative, I’d ask the BS or your GYN/PCP to order one. Good luck!🍀

BI-RADS Assessment Categories are:^[2]

• 0: Incomplete
• 1: Negative
• 2: Benign
• 3: Probably benign
• 4: Suspicious
• 5: Highly suggestive of malignancy
• 6: Known biopsy – proven malignancy

An incomplete (BI-RADS 0) classification warrants either an effort to ascertain prior imaging for comparison or to call the patient back for additional views and/or higher quality films. A BI-RADS classification of 4 or 5 warrants biopsy to further evaluate the offending lesion.^[3]
