Welcome to Mayo Connect. I am glad you are getting it checked out. I had breast cancer surgery - lumpectomy and have had a couple false alarms, but always had checked out to be safe. After scans, it was determined to be scar tissue from surgery or normal thickening or ridge of firm tissue under the lower curve of the breast. Hope everything comes back OK.
When is your MRI scheduled for?

Thank you! The MRI is in prior authorization right now. Coincidentally I have another MRI in prior authorization too right now because of a spot on my liver that’s grown slightly. I had a scan of my kidney stone in the ER and they saw the spot on my liver in that scan. Went to my regular Dr for a checkup and finally mentioned the hard spot on my breast. I have pretty good insurance so I believe it will approved and hopefully I’ll hear this week on when the MRI will be for the breast. The MRI for my liver will be a separate MRI. Can’t do both at once. Thank you for the fast reply as well, I hope you are doing ok!
