For those who are experiencing symptoms or received concerning test results, but haven't been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Bias in Healthcare AI Jul 16, 2024 What happens when AI reads a mammogram? Data journalist Meredith Broussard discusses her experience and diagnosis. In late 2019, Meredith’s routine mammogram showed an area of concern. Both her doctor and AI — an artificial intelligence program — read her mammogram. Her doctor looked at…
Hello! Just received my results asking me to return for a diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound. I had a previous mammo in 2018 because there was a discharge coming from my left breast. It turned out to be a blocked duct that cleared up. For this mammo since I have new insurance they were going to request imaging from my…
About this time last year I was having pain in my left nipple. I Googled it and it said incorrect bra size can cause that. So I changed bras. The pain has come and gone over time but it got much more intense a couple months ago. Then I noticed a hard spot on the tip of my nipple. I put Aquaphor on it and it softened the…
I'm 42. 2.5 weeks ago I found a "lump" (not a lump, not a round one, a bump, something raised) that led to feeling thickening areas on my chest and in my right breast. Breast also is perkier that it used to be, where my left falls flat like a pancake 😅 the right now stays upright when I lay down. When I raise my arm my…
I wrote here in 2020. If your interested in reading my anxiety induced post feel free to look at my history. I will try to make this short. In 2015 my left breast started to feel different. My left nipple would be erect while my right was normal. The shower, hugs, and tight bras would hurt. The moment I noticed this I got…

Doing some research on the web I came across some less…

I went to the dr got an ultrasound and they said it’s hormonal. There are times where only my left breast hurts and aches and my nipple is erect. My husband can’t…
I just turned 40 on the 8th of June so I'm fairly new to the whole mammogram scene and the issues that can be found from those. About 4 years ago (age of 35), I did have some nipple discharge from one nipple that would only come out if I messed with it or forced it to come out. Well, I ended up freaking myself out over it…
I am meeting with a different radiologist to go over my biopsy results. The appointment is listed under "Nurse Navigator" in My Chart. This doesn't sound good, right? What questions do I need to ask? Already crying. Worried.
My doctor recommended that I start receiving Breast MRI exams due to my lifetime risk %, as my mother had a breast cancer diagnosis at 49 years old. She is still a survivor 18 years later. I just turned 43 years old, and consider myself relatively healthy. I had an abnormal mammogram two years ago, and after a sonogram,…
