Due to family history, genetics, or other factors.
So my story has been long and drawn out and I just dont know what to think or do. 2 years ago, found a lump. Dx mammo/us determine "mildly irregular anechoic cyst". Lump never leaves.

Hi I'm Dani and I'm new here. I've never posted on a forum before so I guess this really feels like a last resort for me. I've had obsessive thoughts about getting breast cancer ever since I learnt of my alarming family history 5 years ago. I am currently 25 and after being in and out of therapy over this I don't want it…
When I was first diagnosed with ADH 2 years ago my surgeon mentioned prophylactic mastectomies and I thought he was very extreme for bringing it up. Now I just finished my second surgical excision for ADH (pathology showed LCIS). I'm starting to wonder what happens next- I can't be having surgery every 2 years! I think my…

I’m 65 years old and have had normal mammograms until this year. I had a lumpectomy last month after a biopsy indicated atypical ductal hyperplasia. Because of this and the fact that my mother, her sister, and her aunt all had breast cancer, I am now considered high risk and my oncologist is recommending low dose Tamoxifen…
if you removed your ovaries and uterus because of genetic testing do you have any regrets or are you happy? What was your experience. My daughter is having a very difficult time making this decision. She has decided on extra screening for breast cancer but all doctors are urging her to remove ovaries now. Thank you for…
