@laurie123 ... I hope you had a good Xmas & New Year as well xx.
I have dense breast tissue too and my Lobular wasn't picked up by either the Mammogram or the Ultrasound ..... my GP found it by accident. It is good you had an MRI as you have something 'comprehensive' that can be compared to anything else into the future.
Was yours Lobular or a different BC? Lobular is often the more difficult one to spot on the scans as it doesn't present as a lump (as such) - more like 'strands' .... but it usually also grows slower too ....
We need to trust in our medical team & support staff for surgery options ..... How long ago was your surgery? When is your next 'checkup' appointment with your surgeon? Make a list of your queries & put them to them xx
But .... Try not to get ahead of yourself worrying about the 'what ifs' cos it will muck with your brain! :( .... Can you chat with your BC Nurse or ring the helpline here to have a chat? 1800500258 ...
take care & all the best xx
