Question Vascular Activity on chest wall

Hi All,

I had written a post about this about a half hour ago and my computer went down. The bottom line is that there is so much background to this saga that I can't even get started again. All I am trying to find out is if anyone has been told that they have vascular activity to the chest wall (side of remaining breast). Report came back from an MRI and was noted as probably benign. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Liz J.

Hi Liz,

I'm just posting to keep thread alive. My primary was at chest wall so it caught my eye. I'm guessing vascular activity is not a good thing but you need more info than that. Keep us posted and good luck. BB

Hi Liz,

I might ask for further testing - perhaps a PET scan??

I think I too would ask for a PET/CT scan. Better safe than sorry. I always worry when something shows up and they say "it's probably benign."
