The first thing my surgeon did was send me for breast MRI's. My self and the mammogram found my first tumor. The breast MRI found the second one. And when I had a right mastectomy there was a third tumor they found in the breast tissue. MRI and mammography are not 100%. I was very glad I chose to have a mastectomy. After I finished chemo I went for my mammogram and the radiologist told me that everything looked fine but she suggusted I get an MRI. The oncologist did not write me an order for one. When I went for my gyno apt the next month I asked her about it. So she wrote me an order. That night I found a lump on my unaffected breast (left). I scheduled an apt with my breast surgeon and scheduled an MRI. The MRI didn't show anything. She biopsied the area and the pathology came back benign. Now I am going ahead with my symmentry surgery at the end of this month.

There is always something to worry about it seems. I am hoping for a better year than the last. God Bless everyone.
