DCIS STAGE 3 LUMPECTOMY

by suzana43, Jul 30, 2008 07:15PM
Hi can anyone answer this question please, Iam 43 I had my mammo done and it was found that I needed to do a biopsy on both breasts. The right they had to use a sonogram biopsywhich turned out to be benign, the left was discovered to be DCIS 3 ,I had a Lumppectomy done 1 1/2 months ago and also they removed 4 lyph nodes which were fine not invasive. When I went to my Doctor to start 5 weeks Radiation and 5 years Tamoxifen , she also wanted first for me to go get a MRI.  The MRI showed, a spot of concern on my left and right breast. Now the Doctor wants me to do a MRI biopsy, should I be very concerned that I have cancer or sometimes the MRI shows things that are not cancerous, Please someone tell me I am so nervous I hoped to finish with all this and now I feel I am just starting the whole process.
Thanks you and God bless us all!

I'm not sure that I personally would agree to this additional testing but not being able to see the films or the complete reports it's impossible to offer anything further. May I suggest that you read  a reent post by "Olivia100" that was first posted some time ago but recently updated. I had answered her concerns .... you might find it interesting as it concerns MRI and Biopsy.
