Is MRI-guided biopsy needed after breast cancer treatment?

I had a lumpectomy 3.5 years ago for a HER2-negative, ER/PR-positive breast cancer with an Oncotype DX score of 14. I received radiation therapy after the lumpectomy and was initially on tamoxifen; since July 2025, I have been taking anastrozole. On December 5th, I had a breast MRI with the following finding: Linear non-mass enhancement with progressive/plateau kinetics and a rapid initial phase, measuring 7 × 3 × 3 mm, located in the right breast at the 7:00 position, 7 cm from the nipple. The radiologist recommended an MRI-guided biopsy to exclude DCIS. Has anyone had a similar situation? I am very anxious and terrified that this could be cancer again even though the chances are low.

What to expect during breast cancer treatment: A 4-year survivor's story

Hello, I am 4 years in remission. I was diagnosed in February 2021. I am H2+ HER2-, I received my cancer gene from both of my parents. I was a very rare case. I had a bilateral mastectomy and a partial hysterectomy, removing my ovaries and fallopian tubes. I went through 4 rounds of chemotherapy, lost all of my hair, no nausea(thank God), and night sweats you wouldn't believe. I rang the bell on August 30, 2021. I am also HIV positive. I said all of that to say, if I could make it through, the newly diagnosed can make it through as well.

Is 2 weeks enough recovery time after lumpectomy without a drain?

Surgeon says she won't put a drain in after lumpectomy, and axillary sentinal node removal. Says " arm and breast will swell up alot, up to a week" and " It's 2 weeks total to recover from surgery." I'm 64 years old, diagnosed on 9/18/25 with left breast ER+/Her2-, DCIS, IDC stage 1, Grade 1, < 1 cm, <5 Ki-67. Please let me know your experiences with or without a drain after lumpectomy/sentinel node removal. AND 2 weeks to full recovery sounds like an underestimate to me. Is it? When do stitches/glue/whatever come out/dissolve fully, and insicion is fully healed? I'm very physical at work. Want to plan time off accordingly!! Thank you!
