Hello! My recent mammogram showed focal asymmetry on my left breast, something that has not been present in prior mammograms. Has anyone else had this and what should I expect if anything? I have a follow up mammogram of the left breast and ultrasound.
Hello everyone and thank you for taking the time to read my post! I had my first ever lump in my right breast 3 years ago, it was easy to feel its shape and it never hurt, and moved somewhat easily.

I lurked all the time and am pretty sure I had an account but it’s been over a decade and I don’t remember any credentials so new account it is. 😊 I must say I am grateful this great forum still exists after all this…
I had my first mammogram ever in September with no history of breast cancer in my family. They called me back in for a diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound. The doctor then came in and told me that even though she was scheduling a biopsy I would be having surgery no matter what. She said that the biopsies aren’t always…
