MRI with contrast also showed linear distribution of non mass enhancement extending toward nipple. Also showed admixed course heterogenous calcifications. Does this further the possibility of already being invasive. the reason i'm asking about being invasive is my breast doctor wont tell me much. When I have surgery I don't want any surprises. I want to know up front.
