MRI describes nil areas of concern in the right breast. Mentions the known fibroadenoma and several small cysts, as well as some larger ducts.
Comments that MRI may miss areas of DCIS and therefore clinical judgement should be used, as well as other imaging sources to evaluate if specific concerns are had. Given that mammography, two USS, exam by my professor and now the MRI are happy there is nothing gravely sinister in the right breast, I am quite satisfied and this has put my mind at ease.
I am still leaning towards having a prophylactic right mastectomy at the end of systemic treatment, given the nature of lobular carcinoma.
I meet Oncology on Tuesday so I will share my plan with you all then :) I have been given an appointment two weeks later with Rad Onc so feel I am destined for Rads as well if they’ve already slotted me in to meet them!
I truly find this forum amazing. Being able to have others who understand and listen during this is incredible. I hope my experiences help another young woman in the future.
Enjoy your weekend ladies 💕
