I don't know anything yet. My right breast shrunk an entire cup size

My primary Dr set me up quickly for diagnostic mammogram, it showed nothing.

Now I wait 2 more days for authorization, for MRI ,make the appointment etc!

The ONLY response from Dr. Google is lobuler ILC! Believe me I tried to find something else

If it didn't show on this mammogram, it wouldn't have been on last years either!

I'm worried about the stage etc. I had ductal carcinoma 15 years ago and had chemo/radiation lumpectomy

Any words of wisdom?

    Has the breast become smaller and harder/thicker or just smaller?

    Have you had any recent weight loss?

    just smaller I think. Nodes under my armpit are very tender.

    My diet has been horrendous this past year...so no weight loss.

    Could it be something else?

    What does your doctor think? When is your MRI?

    I just found out my insurance denied my request for MRI because there was nothing on my mammogram! I didn't expect it to show a anything from what I've read!

    I looked at past reports (3 years) None note the size or symmetry!

    Now I have to fight for approval.

    I asked my PC for bloodwork and I had it drawn today.

    I asked Dr today.......if it could be something else that would cause one breast to shrink like this....she said yes, there's a chance......blah blah. Didn't sound too sure Lol.

    I've been more aware and I do have pain that come and goes, almost like a very slight burning/ coldd sensation..

    I just want to know yes or no that's all! Can one breast shrink an entire cup size and be something else?
