Hi all,
Had a MRI today. Expected it to be a full body scan but it was only of my breasts. This sound normal??

Hi hopeful, I thought mine would be but mine was of my chest and abdomen only. Take care Love Suzanne
Hi hopeful,
I had a breast only MRI too… I think this may be a good sign, as it suggests they think everything is contained within the breast(s). I’ve had my mastectomy, and there was no spread to lymph nodes. I’d imagine if there was signs in the lymphs, they would then do a body scan to check for further spread.
Best of luck, Mel. X
Hi Hopeful, mine was only of the breast too but they told me that before I had it. They’ll usually suggest a CT scan if they want a detailed scan of whole body (I think!) xx
Thanks for the responses everyone. I have my results from my MRI. The breast that had cancer came back fine. HOwever they would like me to get a mammorgram and ultrasound on the other breast as an oval shape showed up on the MRI. The doctor told me she wasn’t concerned about it as it was a round shape but b/c I have cancer in the other breast they will be extra cautious. I am still nervous!
This happen to anyone?
