Wednesday- found lump, Friday- OB appointment, Tuesday mammogram/ ultrasound- dx "busy breast"- "do you know a surgeon?" Wednesday breast MRI, core biopsy, Thursday dx IDC and DCIS, Friday chest x-ray, blood labs, next Tuesday MRM and axillary dissection, seroma problems, 5 weeks later started chemo.
My onc did not recommend pre-tx scans. He said you tend to undertreat women that have something show up on PET. Had my PET/CT 2 months after chemo- NED. It was hard not knowing all that time.
