Due to family history, genetics, or other factors.
Helpful information for those who are at high risk for breast cancer: Some suggestions from the main Breastcancer.org site: * The expansive Know Your Risk section is extremely helpful if you have questions about what risk factors are, what you can or can't do about them, and more! * The Genetic Testing section is key for…
If you are a known carrier of BRCA 1/2 pathogenetic mutation, have you tried to research the origin of your mutation? I have IVS5-11T>G / c.213-11T>G Any advice welcome.
In October 2025 I was diagnosed with sclerosing adenosis. I do understand this is a benign condition, but according to the NIH, and Mayo Clinic studies, the damage the disease causes creates a “breeding ground” for certain cancers - carrying a 1-2 fold increased risk of developing these cancers in 15 years time. It’s…
Hi I was diagnosed with ADH 13 years ago when I was in my 30's. Had a few biopsies since then but everything came back normal. I went recently for my mammogram/ultrasound and was called back for a diagnostic ultrasound. The impression states: Left breast mass at 11:00 1 cm from the nipple which demonstrates interval…
Hello, My dr. wants me to get a breast MRI which uses gadolinium. I am very afraid of this as my dad had a cardiac arrest during contrast and also in addition to BC in my family there's a lot of Parkinsons. I also have autoimmune issues! Basically…I don't need any more problems. The dr will not allow me to have it without…
I had my cardio cat scan everything was good, so why is my LVEF low? I must get back to treatment I worry my cancer will come out of Remission!
Hello Everyone, I just turned 40 and alternate MRI and Mammogram/Ultrasound every 6 months due to family history. So far, they have been benign. This one says benign, but mentions "tiny bilateral pleural effusion". When I asked Dr. Google (I know…) about it, I saw both that this can be an indicator of really bad things,…
Hi all, long post to give context but the TLDR is — what to do about a large lump with high-risk/atypical findings (but not necessarily malignant) and positive-margins in one breast five years after early stage cancer in the other breast? Five years ago, I had a lumpectomy and radiation for stage 1 ER/PR-negative cancer in…
I'll try to keep the background as short as possible—unfortunately, it is a bit of a twisted tale. I had a screening breast MRI in Sept. last year. It came back BI-RADS 5 (greater than 95% likely cancer). The targeted US showed a rather benign-looking nodule that was presumed to be the one seen on the MRI. An US-guided…
Just wondering how many ladies out there decided to have prophylactic masectomies when your diagnosis was ALH or ADH? I know I can't be the only one.... Hugs to all, Valerie
