SEEKING ADVICE

My mom was diagnosed w/ breast cancer (invasive lobular carcinoma) in June, she's used alternative treatments for past 2 months (Soursop tea, apricot kernels, & a mushroom extract). She had an MRI on Monday; we got a copy. The radiologist report states, "There is enhancing architectural distortion with signal void corresponding to the site of biopsy-proven malignancy at the 10:00 position middle depth extending slightly below the nipple as well as into the central and upper central right breast measuring 5.6 cm x 4.3 cm x 3.7 cm (AP x CC x TV) with associated nipple retraction."

Her surgeon called w/ MRI results & repeated info from above & asked if we had questions. I said "The report says the tissue is distorted yet previously it was referred to as a mass. I couldn't identify any "mass" in the images. Which is it, distorted tissue or a solid mass?" HIs response "What does it matter?"

Continued in comments below.

I would call the radiologist, and have them explain their description to you in layman's terms, and have them compare the two images.

You are not asking them for treatment, just a description of what they see.

I was praying after 2 months on alternatives the MRI would have shown definitively that the mass had shrunk. Instead, the MRI report came back that it was larger than first described in the mammogram. 😭
