    Well, I had the MRI. They

    Well, I had the MRI. They had to stick me six times because my veins kept collapsing and then my blood wouldn't clot so ended up with massive bruising. Not sure why that happened.

    Anyway the Breast Surgeon called with the results. Apparently nothing showed up on the MRI. I still have the 3 very small lumps and the Breast Surgeon still suspects LCIS however if Mammo, MRI and ultrasound don't show anything there isn't anything they can do. They can't do a biopsy. Kind of a strange place to be ...I guess the limitations of our bio-technology.

    So my options are to have a masectomy and hopefully be done OR to leave as is and have check ups every 3 months. I have chosen the latter. I have confidence in my doctors (and do understand they are human) AND I decided if I am not going to have a mastectomy then I can't spend my time worrying about what this might lead to. I have to admit when I sit quietly with what is going on, I do feel the latter is the decision for me to make and it is personal.

    I am grateful that the Breast Surgeon is on top of this and at least honest about it as well. It may amount to something and then it may amount to nothing at all. Life is mysterious living with the unknown.

    Thanks for all your support.
