I had my MRI yesterday morning, and my surgeon already received the results by the late afternoon yesterday.\u00a0 She called me to give me the information.<\/p>\n
The left breast was clear of any involvement which is great, but the right still shows much involvement.\u00a0 The doctor also told me that the MRI showed a couple of spots on my liver and they were recommending another diagnostic procedure to check on that.\u00a0 It could be nothing, but since I am being worked up as a cancer patient, they have to rule out that it isn’t anything.\u00a0 Oh boy!\u00a0 More tests!<\/p>\n
