MRI

The surgeon wanted to do an MRI prior to surgery to make sure nothing was missed in the mammogram and ultrasound.  For breast MRI you lay face down and only your chest is scanned.  It wasn't a big deal.  I was told I could turn a hint of blue over the next 24 hours from the contrast dye but that didn't happen to me. Unfortunately though, the MRI found something.  I had a small mass next to my chest wall in the left breast and another small one behind the right nipple.  Is the one behind the nipple the same breast cancer or another?  It seemed unlikely that the cancer on the right would jump all the way to where it is on the left, so if it was cancer, it would likely be a new one.  Great. Fantastic.  Potentially more cancer.  Argh.  The ultrasound tech who further examined those masses seemed optimistic though that they were benign.  No way to know for sure without a biopsy though, and the location of the masses would make biopsy difficult and/or painful.
