Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
MRI is a detailed investigation. Since you were having a lump diagnosed as cancer stage 1 grade 2 which was treated with radiation, follow up is necessary. There are many suspicious shadows seen on MRI and ultrasound even on the other breast which need to be recorded and subsequently followed up. I request you to please upload the report so that I can give a better opinion. Most likely it might also be a benign condition on the opposite breast.
