Hi @Nicksta,
Welcome to the forum. As you've already found out there is a huge amount of support, information and experience on here.
Waiting just sux. The endless cloudy fog until you know exactly what your dealing with is unbearable at times.
My breast tumour could not be found on any mammograms or ultra sounds (I had four and two u/s) either.
We chased the rotten thing for a month as I wanted the lumpectomy if at all possible and we knew that it was already in the nodes as that's where I had picked it up.
The MRI was the only way they found it as well and even with the exact location from the MRI it was pretty hard to catch with the core biopsies!
So I ended up with lumpectomy and full node clearance, re excision, chemo and rads.
You do become a bit paranoid from now on I guess. Every lump, bump, ache or pain has me running off to the doctor thinking it's IT back.
Hoping your results are good ones today.
Let us know how you get on.
