I have a palpable mass in my left breast (9 o' clock). The mammogram & sonomammogram indicate the following: "...a 2.5x1.1x2.3 cm hypoechoic, smooth bordered parallel mass. It does contain a single cystic component." No one is sure what it is, but It may be a Phyllodes tumor or a fibroadenoma. The surgeon refered me for a Sonoguided Breast Biopsy (Core, FNA). Should I postpone the biopsy to do a breast MRI before? Does it help the doctor have a better view of the mass? Or should I just go ahead with the biopsy? I already performed basic labwork (CBC, CMP, PT, PTT) and I'm fine, but are there specific labwork that I should request?
I know that these are questions for my doctor, but after my visit I've been on the internet and have read a lot of diiferent info and it's kind of confusing at this moment.
