I think that is fairly standard practice. It is so they can get an accurate measurement of the lump and then mid way through you have another and at the end you have another so they can track the effect the chemo is having. It is very effective.
This happened to me and the results used so they know what surgery to plan. You do not get a full MRI. You lie on your front on the bed and you put your boobs over a container and they take pictures of them and under your arms.
i know all these tests are really scary thoughts but they are to help the team how best to treat you. I remember the fear I felt at the beginning of this treatment - I felt terrified and traumatised too but as many others say too once all the scans etc are done you will then be reassured by your team that they know what the treatment plan will be and am sure you will feel better about things.
Have you joined the December chemo club thread - I think you would get more support there from many others as I notice you open new threads that not everyone reads. Just a thought !
You will find great support here as all the girls here are very supportive of each other. We will get through this together.
Me again. Scroll up to the top of this page and press discussions. Look up December chemo club and open it and you will find lots of info and experiences from others.
