I had an MRI on both breasts, two ultrasounds by different techs and two sets of mammos. My biospy was Mammo guided. Either the tumors grew during the month btw the MRI and the Mast or the density of my breast plus the DCIS presence masked the tumors. Either way, its all in storage somewhere and no longer in me. I had the other breast removed after chemo. A preop MRI showed a small tumor. Core biospy said benign fatty deposit. After Mast path showed nothing.
