I know that I have ivcar in RB, but an MRI returned a report that there is a spotBirthmarks - pigmented Liver spots Measles, koplik spots - close-up Mongolian blue spots in the other breast.. so now I have to have an MRI Core Biopsy in the other one and an US next week. How often if anyone knows, does that really turn out to be anything in the "other?" just curious..but they cannot start my chemo until they know for sure...
I'm not sure about your bone scan question; someone else msy be able to tell you more about that. I do know if it was a PET scan, it can "light up" all sorts of things, even arthritis, so it's not very specific or definitive.
By the way, you might want to post in the Breast Cancer Community Forum (instead of BC 3&4) at this point, because it's generally a more active forum and you'll be likely to get more replies. We handle all kinds of BC questions there.
I don't know how your original BC was detected (mammo? u/s? MRI?), but the MRI is so highly sensitive that it sometimes "overdiagnoses," so this could be either another cancer or a benign finding. Yes, it is possible to have a malignant lesion in each breast, and sometimes they are even diffrerent kinds of cancer. (One could be ductal and the other lobular, one ER+ and the other ER-, etc.)
