MRI Results

I recently had an MRI as follow up to a diagnosis of a 7mm malignancy in my right breast. Here is the summary finding that leaves me confused as to whether a larger area of malignancy exists. Lumpectomy is scheduled for 4/5. Should I be worried that I have a much larger cancer than originally indicated?


IMPRESSION:
1. Right breast: Non-mass and mass enhancement surrounds the micro
clip in the upper outer mid posterior position, spanning up to 2.4 cm.
This corresponds to the area of architecture distortion noted
mammographically. There is no convincing evidence for multifocal or
multicentric disease (given exam limitations). There are no enlarged
lymph nodes (BIRAD category 6, known malignancy).
2. Left breast: No suspicious findings (given exam limitations, BIRAD
category 2, benign).
