What’s the gold standard for lobular checks post treatment

Hi C22

I haven't got an answer for you and as your post has slipped onto the second page of the forum I thought I'd reply to you to move you to the top of the discussion.  Hopefully someone will be along shortly with some advice for you.

Best wishes and I hope you have a lovely Christmas.

My 2cm didn’t show on mammogram. I had seen a thickening on skin . Very hard to see on ultrasound too . I had lumpectomy in March and radiotherapy in May . My next scan will be mammogram in April 2025.

i has my treatment with BUPA, so I can ask for an ultrasound . Despite being private , my surgeon is reluctant to offer MRI . When I last saw him , he mentioned going back to NHS.

i actually saw an NHS a oncology professor 2 weeks ago ( TRAK ER trial ). He was firmly of the opinion that I should have an MRI because my tumour hadn’t shown on mammo.

He promised to write to Gp but letter hasn’t materialised yet . 

I think it’s a postcode lottery as to what follow up you get.

Thanks and you too!

Hey klf

yep sounds just like me

i am going for an ultrasound on January (6 months post operation) - that’s at my request.

i am going to ask very firmly about mri

mammograms useless for me - lobular plus dense breasts!! 

somewhere there was a letter you coukd print out to pass on to gp to insist on mri……

I will message you 

Is it possible to get a private breast mri

Yes but I think you need a referral letter .
