I had a mri core biopsy 3.5 weeks ago, they took 12 core samples from a 2.6 cm linear nonmass enhancement found on mri. The biospy numbing was very painful because of the retroareolar area being the target. I had lots of bleeding and had to wear a compression wrap home, instead of a bra. I developed a large hematoma but…
Hi there! I've read some posts on here and gleaned a lot. I'm a 27 yr old, and found out recently that I have a 10mm intraductal papilloma in my right breast. (For what it's worth, over the last year this breast has doubled in size, and a few years ago I had another round of biopsies done on breast so there's a lot going…
I have a 17mm lump in my left breast. The imaging (mammogram and ultrasound) looked highly suspicious (e.g., BIRADS 3), but the two separate biopsies only showed benign adenosis, therefore, the results are discordant. I am also experiencing nipple discharge (yellow colour). At this stage, I have declined to have a…
if you have had radial scars diagnosed and removed what was the ongoing follow up monitoring recommended by your surgeon? 12 months ago I had two radial scars removed at age 32. I had an ultrasound 1 yr post surgery and imaging was all ok - BIRADS 2. I am meant to follow up with my surgeon for the post 1yr mark. However,…

I have extremely dense breast tissue, complex cysts, breast disease, multiple bilateral papillomas and just recently diagnosed with LCIS. I do not have…

I'm here to connect with others, learn from your experiences, and hopefully feel a bit less alone on this path. If you've found anything that helped with pain relief,…
Hi there. I have a very strong family history of BC (gene negative). Grandmother twice, Mother twice, 1st cousin at age 31… Anyways, because of this I alternate Mammos and MRIs. Just had an MRI biopsy (not my first one) that came back benign with a foci of PASH. I'm reading all I can about this but I'm curious if anyone…
Back in May, I went for my yearly mammogram. I was called back because they wanted additional films of my left breast. Had the mammogram and an ultrasound. At that time, the Radiologist told me that he did not see any signs of cancer, and the area that they were concerned about was benign. He recommended that I come back…
I'm recently diagnosed with a benign radial scar. First seen on a screening mammogram as an area of "focal distortion." Called back for diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound. It persisted on the diagnostic mammogram as architectural distortion and a 0.7cm irregular mass was found on the ultrasound. The radiologist came in…
