Has anyone had Breast-Specific Gamma Imaging (BSGI)?  It is an imaging technique used as an aid in diagnosis when a mammogram is inconclusive.  It reveals information that can help your doctor more accurately determine if an area of concern is cancerous or not.
 
I am in the final week of radiation. Sleepy  In one month I will be having a diagnostic mammogram.  It will have been one year since my original diagnosis of invasive metaplastic carcinoma/matrix producing.  I'm wondering if the BSGI would be useful for tnbc followups.
 
What do you know?

Still hoping I'll get a reply to the topic of Breast-Specific Gamma Imaging.  I see my rad/onc this week and would like to know if anyone else has had this type of diagnosis on a follow-up?

Carol, I am so sorry that you did not get an answer on BSGI when you needed it! Hope things went well and please keep us updated.
