Second MRI after biopsy Nottingham level 2

Posted by flygirl747 @flygirl747, 2 days ago

Diagnosed with breast cancer. The radiologist wants a second MRI but wait time is seven weeks. Waiting and wondering how long this process takes before surgery. The waiting is literally killing me.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Breast Cancer Support Group.

So stressful not getting responses and not knowing what to do next. Suggest you line up your team, surgeon for biopsy and potential lumpectomy, oncologist for medical follow-up, radiation oncologist for follow -up XRT.
Also check out this link regarding Nottingham grades from Breast Cancer.org written by a physician at Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, Fl. This should help you understand and be prepared with questions for the team you are gonna put together.
Good luck and please keep us posted on your progress. 🤗 🥰

Thank you. I have read the Nottingham grades from a few different sources. I have had a biopsy.
Mayo Jacksonville seems to be over committed.
After my biopsy report I was told to call for another MRI when I had just had one two weeks earlier. Finally straightened that out. I have appt for oncology nurse navigator and with surgeon end of March consult. They will give me no time frame as to when the surgeon has time for surgery. All I was told it depends on need.

Sounds like they are overbooked as you say. Would you have the ability to go to a larger facility with more breast surgeons or even large out of state teaching facility. If it’s lumpectomy then it’s usually day surgery and basically quick physical recovery.
You say they thought you were DCIS Nottingham 2 which from what I quickly discerned is not that fast growing although I agree the many weeks you have to wait seems daunting. There is no indication of DCIS Invasive correct?
They will decide on your urgency based on historical data and the oncology NP shld be able to answer your questions about timing.(when you finally get to see her)

It's a moving target. It is now invasive and Stage 1.
