More scans after MRI

Last reply: 12 May 2014 10:31

HI all,last week after a mammogram,ultra sound and 2 biopsy's my Doctor confirmed I had breast cancer.He arranged an MRI and the next day a nurse called to say I needed another mammogram and scan.I asked her why and she said she hadn't got the Doctors notes and he just wanted to verify something.Has this happened to any one else?

I had to go back for a 2nd mammogram after diagnosis because there was another area of my breast they were concerned might be precancerous. They did a biopsy on it via mammogram, which came back negative. If it had been positive, I would have definitely needed a mastectomy rather than a lumpectomy as tumor was on the opposite side of the nipple.
