Has to wait for a month to get an MRI

A month is not a long wait. Here we wait 6 to a year. If it is cancer it has been there for a long time if it hurts, and 30 days wont make much difference. I never got an MRI and I had lumps in bothe breasts. Dont panic. Use this time to research, pray, and plan.

So true! A month isn’t a very long wait! After my screening Mammo I had a 2 week wait for diagnostic mammo and US, then another 2 week wait for biopsy. Then 2 week wIt to see surgeon who ordered MRI with 2 week wait for that. MRI picked another problem in 2nd breast! You guessed it…another 2 wk wait for diagnostic mammo and US in second breast and additional 2 wk wait after that for biopsy of 2nd breast! It was frustrating indeed but we tend to get through these things, we really do! It’s hard but best to relax, trust your docs and take one step forward at a time and be so happy that we have such great diagnostic and treatment tools now. Think of what women went through 50, 60, 70 years ago before mammo and US were even available.
