So they didn’t see anything on the ultrasound but this radiologist took the time to compare the breast MRI to past ones. He saw the 3 mm nodule in the current MRI was also there in 2020 and appeared just the same. It wasn’t there in 2015 or 2017, but he said 5 years of no changes indicates it’s benign so he has no concerns. Next breast MRI in 12 months. If the radiologist that read the MRI a couple weeks ago had taken the time to compare with previous MRIs, I could have skipped the ultrasound. Now I’m just waiting on the Signatera results. They said two more weeks. I hope you receive equally good news!
