A safe place to discuss benign (non-cancerous) breast conditions.
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…
Hi All, Just looking to connect with people who may have had similar experiences or diagnosis. I went for my first breast check, age 32 due to a concern on my right side.

Hey all, Hope everyone here is having a great week.

hi all! Well I’ve had many mammos and ultrasounds over the years for dense breasts with lots of lumps, and one biopsy in 2019 for 2 fibros that were overlapping. No cancer and after being on the watch list for 2.5 years I went back to normal testing. A couple weeks back I did a self exam and found a very different kind of…
Hormonal Therapy recommended for LCIS and ADH by an oncologist. Medicine they are asking me to take is Anastrozole and I am looking for feedback from the community on the side effects experienced from this drug. It is not actually FDA approved for this prophylactic treatment of post menopausal women and these types of pre…
Hi, all- Just a brief history: I am a 50 year old post-menopausal woman with dense breasts and a family history of BC. In 2020, my annual mammogram revealed a small cluster of calcifications in my right breast, after which time I underwent a stereotactic needle biopsy. The results were benign showing columnar cell changes…
