Biopsy question
If you read my other post, I had my 6 months follow up after 2 ultrasounds and one MRI and now getting MRI again. Biopsy is not off the table if I really want it but it was not recommended at this point (radiologists thinks that if second MRI shows no changes, we are good to continue follow ups). During recent days I read…

What would you do?
I posted about a year ago when I got my first bi rads 4 due to area of cystic focus (looks like many cysts next to each other or many dilated ducts) (11/13mm) and what looks like calcified fibroadenoma next to it which was 6/9mm and now is 9/13mm). Then I got MRI - bi rads 2 and on a second look ultrasound was downgraded…

Hi I had a non linear enhancement show up on an mri in January. The breast biopsy they did was negative. That's good.

Consult with surgeon leads to more tests/biopsies... and then?
So, in early March I had my annual mammogram, at that time they saw microcalcifications which led to my first biopsy. The biopsy showed an intraductal papilloma, and I was referred to a breast surgeon for excision. Fast forward to my appointment with the surgeon. The appointment was overwhelming. She did an exam, and found…

2nd Mammogram (but 1st w this doctor) - received a callback.
I am 29. No BRCA genes, but a chek2 mutation. It is considered "pathogenic" but it is the one of least concern. My mother had breast cancer, and her mother did as well. I was part of Fox Chase Cancer center and my geneticists there recommended to start screening at age 31, 10 years before my moms diagnosis. I joined City…

Found a lump, doctor said no lesions…what does this mean?
hello, I found a lump about 2 months ago. I told my doctor and ordered for a mammogram. Got the results back and the doctor said it was a large mass, but because I’m breastfeeding it makes it hard to know if it’s of concern. So he requested for a biopsy to be done. Waited to hear a call back to get a biopsy done but then I…
