MRI results

 The breast MRI results were about as good as I could hope for. The breast cancer surgeon was very happy with them. I'm glad we decided to get them just to have some confirmation.

1. There is no cancer seen in the good breast
2. There are no obvious lymph nodes seen 
3. The only thing seen is the already-identified tumor

The only small negative is the tumor is a bit larger on MRI than on Mammogram/US. My doctor said this is very common, because the MRI gives a clearer picture. 

Instead of 0.9 cm, the tumor appears to be 2.1 cm. This is still pretty small (less than an inch).

So we move forward- surgery on March 6

Still to do: 

1. blood draw (probably tomorrow AM)
2. placement of a radioactive bead (day before surgery)
3. dye injection in bad breast (day or two before surgery)

Oh and I have a tooth that might need a root canal!

Fun times
