Time From Needle Biopsy to MRI With Invasive Lobular?

Not sure I understand your question. Are you being told you have to wait certain length of time for MRI after a biopsy? If so did they give you a reason.

When I was first diagnosed, my MRI was scheduled within days of confirmed cancer after a biopsy.

The dr wanted MRI first, but my insurance company would not approve MRI until I had a confirmed diagnosis.

Thank you,
Kaiser in my area has a broken MRI machine. It is going on week 2.
They also are not worried enough to send me to another facility that has a working machine.
Needle biopsy did show Invasive Lobular.
How can a breast clinic have a broken MRI machine for, who knows how long. No one has said how long it has been down.
I felt this bump at the end of July.
I am hoping for a double mastectomy for good measure.
I hope you are well~stay strong
