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?"

The doctor said he couldn't remember what the images looked like. He should have had them in front of him since that is why he was calling to discuss the MRI results.
He wants to do surgery to remove the tissue. I want a second opinion of the MRI results. I'm wondering if the "mass" disappeared and left a void.
Any suggestions on where to get an independent review of her MRI images?
you can get a 2nd opinion with another oncologist....make sure you get both copies of mri's sent to that dr...
i understand what you mom said...but you cant get a 2nd opinion unless seen.
