Mammogram & MRI scan during radiotherapy

Hi Sparkle498uk , I would query it. When I was having radiotherapy the very thought of a mammogram would have made me cringe. I was only 10 weeks post surgery and towards the end of my 3 weeks of rads, the skin under the operated breast got very red, and looked like it might split. Thankfully it didn’t. My nipple was also extremely sore. So I would not have wanted all the pulling to get me into the mammogram plates (I’m small breasted so it takes quite a lot of ‘handling’ to get them in between the clamps!.) And the squashing would have been very painful. It sounds like the team requesting the mammogram don’t know your stage of treatment. Maybe the MRI might be ok? I haven’t had one but I don’t think it involves compression? But obviously I’m not a medic so this is all just what I feel I’d do in your situation. And I can’t remember when you had your surgery, maybe not so recently? I’d definitely query it with either or both teams, especially with regard to the information you’ve found out about possibly affecting the results of the scans. I can’t comment on that. 
Sorry you’ve got this to deal with now. How is the radiotherapy going? 
Love and hugs, HFxx

Thank you. Yes you make good points, I’m going to query it with oncology I think. 

Radiotherapy going ok, has my fourth session this morning. 11 more to go! Tomorrow they are servicing the equipment so I have a day off!
