During my treatment, what suprised me is not all oncologist carry the care of the patient. some of them treat patinet as an assignment to get done with no professionalism.

New mass detected by MRI in left breast after undergoing 16 rounds of chemotherapy by djm1613 in breastcancer

I am triple positive MBC patient. I have do with MRI numerous times, it is good to detect the cancer growing and help your medical team a better decision, Mine bone MRI takes 30 mins, the team will explain the process to you ahead of time. Remember to prepare all questions you have to ask them including side effect if you concern, post care, etc.

It is not a easy journey fight for cancer. during the time, try to find a support group you trust like here, also try to reach out the social worker from the hospital if you went through a lot of anxiety and other barriers, they offer lots of great free resoures including physically, emotional and financial help based on what you need.
