Request ultrafast mri. Have your oncologist surgeon speak to radiologist about ultra fast mri of breasts.
Also they have ultra fast breast mri now. Get one.
Have your oncologist surgeon request it for you.
I also had lobular - 2cm and ultrasound showed nothing. I got totally lucky as fab radiologist didn't like what he saw in area of very dense breasts - years ago suspicious also and I wished I had asked for MRI. This time I did which showed it as 2cm - I had a lumpectomy at 57 yrs olds , followed by 20 rounds of radiation including a boost and my margins weren't excellent (common for lobular) - I have been on Letrozole for almost 2 yrs and will see my oncologist in October. Even at Dana Farber, highly ranked cancer center in Boston I had to beg for an MRI.
