Maria,

I have looked at my MRI since I have copies but am not sure they did. I do know there was a conference between the surgeon, plastic surgeon and oncologist the next day after surgery on this subject. I had a tram flap reconstruction and was on drugs for about 3 weeks afterwards. I did speak to the surgeon about this on a follow up apt. and they may have looked at this but I am not certain. But when I just saw her two weeks ago. She did an in office biopsy on the lump because she knew and the fact that I reminded her that I had a third lump that didn't show up on MRI last year. I got results in 2 weeks what took almost two months last year. It was very ironic that I found a lump in my left breast the day I got an order to get an MRI done??? Anyway hope I answered your questions. Didn't mean to scare you. I just know that we do not have 100% detection.
