I didn't have a CT or PET scan upon diagnosis, but I didn't have any spread to the lymph nodes. I did have a breast MRI as part of the diagnosis. Now that I have had a bilateral mastectomy, all that I will have going forward are clinical exams. I guess they would do imaging if they found something suspicious. I would feel more reassured by having periodic ultrasounds of the armpits, to check the lymph nodes.

I had gone to the dr because of a rash and was told to get a mammo. I had one done Feb 25, had biopsy Feb 26 and told I have IDC on Feb 27. Since then I have had an additional biopsy and an MRI. Now this week I see the dr again and right after meet with a genetic dr. It has been a crazy 3 weeks.

Finished my infusion schedule (took over a year!), after having the single mastectomy- per surgeon and oncologist, nothing on their end except a 6 months checkup!

I have a CT scan every 3 months and sooner than that if my bloodwork results are bad.

I had a suspicious mammogram an ultrasound...biopsy.....was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma grade 2. Triple Negative Inflammatory. Had bone scan was negative. Had a chest and abdominal CT and found metastases to lung and liver. I went from "We can cure you" to stage 4....it was beyond shocking. I have come to closer terms with it.
