I just want to make sure I got your story right. You have not been diagnosed with breast cancer. While the first MRI seemed to indicate that there were suspicious areas that had characteristics of possible cancer. Now, 6 months later you will be going for a follow-up MRI. Understandably, you're concerned that the results might show potential cancer and you wonder if you've got lost time. Did I get that right?
When is your MRI?

Hello! I had a routine mammogram in April 2023. A small lesion was seen and biopsied, which came back as Fibroadenoma. Unfortunately, I received a phone call from the doctor who did the biopsy stating she thinks the wrong nodule was biopsied. This was very shocking, because I was only told of one. Then we decided on a MRI. The MRI was done and the next day my PCP called me in her office to go over the MRI report, which was given BI-RADS 4 score. It had all the characteristics of cancer….washout, hypo-echoic, rapid light up, etc. So then, another biopsy was done on another “lesion”, which came back as another Fibroadenoma. My lymph nodes on the left side were also “fluffy” according to the radiologist, but looked “fine” on US, therefore they were not biopsied. I go back 12/22 for my 6 month MRI f/u.
