Hi Nicksta, so sorry to hear that you are going to go through cancer treatment.
I agree with what eastmum has said, be confident in your team, ask lots of questions, take notes & someone for support.
I would be after an MRI, in my case it was the only thing that showed by tumor which was over 140mm! Not picked up on mammograms or ultrasounds. But MRI showed it's shocking size. I had no choice but to have a mastectomy on one side, but in the few minutes I had to decide I chose a double, didn't want to risk getting it in the other breast, but that was just me, esp as other tests showed nothing, I didn't want to waste my time & money on regular mammograms that were useless & expensive
