MRI results

 MRI results are back. 

Right breast is still benign (I giggle at the 2nd definition that implies my right breast is kind and gentle). 

Left breast. Yep, tumor is still there. Measures about .5 inches, so slightly bigger than it appeared in the ultra-sound. But that doesn't change anything.

No indication of lymph node involvement. 

No impact on treatment plan.


Genetic counseling intake is scheduled for March 15th. We'll be looking specifically at the BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 genes. These genes (which everyone has), if they have mutations, would make me more susceptible to cancer. That's good information to have, now that I have officially been diagnosed with cancer. Yay for getting to check THAT box at every future doctor's office. I probably won't have results of the testing until post surgery (early April).
