Expert: - 4/5/2010


Question
I am 44 years old and I have been having Breast MRI's for High risk assessement. I went for a follow up MRI because of Areas of enhancement on right breast than was scheduled for biopsy of these areas. The pre biospy MRI showed that one area disappeared and the other area decreased in size(enhancement). Still had biopsy on that area. Dr stated she was encouraged about this. I have fibrocystic breast should i be concerned still since one disappeared and the other decreased in size?

Answer
Sorry, too early to tell. That is why the biopsy was done. We have to wait for the result. But those changes can hardly make anything worse. Good luck!
