Breast MRI

I had a breast MRI last week. The results say "Some peripheral areas show aggressive patterns of rapid enhancement and washout."
I am soon getting a MRI-guided biopsy. Waiting for this is so scary.
Does this mean cancer or could it be something else?
Has anyone else had these results and what was the outcome?

I have seen many ladies called in for a MRI guided biopsy and had benign results. Do you have a copy of the radiologist report? What level/grade did they give you on the report? Didn't they do an ultrasound also?

It just has information about enhancement. It was a level III. The ultrasound didn't show anything. What do you think??

Mine was a 5. Pretty much no question there was cancer. Stay positive. When is your biopsy?

My biopsy is this Friday, October 5th. I'm so nervous.

You will do fine. They should give you plenty of pain meds. That will probaly be the worst. Shots. I hate'em. I do wish you well and will be looking for you to post. Make sure to ask for a completed report and always get a second opinion.
