OK so just got back from hospital and I’m quite happy with the results, mainly because the bone scan is ok, phew! Was really concerned about that, cos my uncle spent his last few weeks in agony due to a bone metastasis! MRI scan was ok and confirmed there’s no other areas of concern in both breasts. The two known tumours are IDC small, less than 15mm, one is grade 2 & one grade 1. Both primaries and both ER+ and HER2-.
What threw the consultant was something they spotted on the MRI, a large-ish, egg-shaped “lump” behind the heart, 90 x 45 mm. At first he thought it was a swollen lymphnode, and was going to discuss chemo, but after checking with a radiographer he came to the conclusion it’s not a lymphnode (he said there would be more than one involved if that was the case), and it could be something benign, a hernia, or anything else, basically he didn’t know. Has anyone else come across some “strange finding” on their MRI scan?
