For those who are experiencing symptoms or received concerning test results, but haven't been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Mammo and US show 2 lumps in right breast. Both are less than 1 cm and oval shaped and well circumscrimed margins and hypoechoic, parallel to chest. They were told as "probably benign" There is also an axillary lymph node with central fatty vascular hilum, but with a thickened cortex upto 8mm. The radiologist said, masses…
Supposed to schedule one. But worried about it making it spread. They are concerned it could be cancerous. But my lymph nodes look fine. Why not just take it out then send it off for testing? Also my breasts are also very dense. Should I look for a doc to just take it out? Or is that too risky wait? The doc I visited just…
I recently had my first screening mammogram in Feb and was called back due to an assymetry for diagnostic and possible ultrasound and couldn't get back in until May. During the second one, some lymph nodes were found. I've been asked to come back in 3 months and 6 months. I've been going down the rabbit hole and panicking.…
I am feeling very alone in all of this. I went from a perfectly normal mammo, to a cyst that just needed to be drained to a highly suspicious BI-RADS Category 0 to a highly suspicious 4C diagnostic ultrasound and Abnormal lymph nodes in 3 months' time. My doctor said she cannot tell me what the diagnostic mammo &…

I need help understanding what to ask and how to advocate for myself at my appointment tomorrow. First, my condition: My right breast has hurt for five weeks, it’s really sore, but not hormonal sore. Totally different feeling. Sometimes it’s a low key burning sensation, sometimes a shooting pain, sometimes throbbing, but…
I've been waiting a few weeks to have a biopsy done for a .7mm spiculated mass. It is scheduled for Thurs but giiven the likelihood of a future week(s) long wait for the results, I'm wondering if I should try to get an appointment with a breast surgeon, or if I am jumping the gun. I'm concerned about the delays, especially…
Hello- I'm back again…I have dense breast tissue (48y/o) and finally advocated my way to an MRI approval. In January I had my annual mammogram which was clear (I've had 4 biopsies over the last 8 years, so it's rare that it's completely clear). However, I'm in peri-menopause and have had left side arm-pit pain (right where…
Hi! Never thought I'd be here, but I guess that's the same for everyone. Long story short, I found a lump while in the shower a few weeks ago. Went to see PCP, referred for mammogram and ultrasound. Got back the report with a bi rads score of 5. Findings: Heterogeneously dense breasts. Upper Inner quadrant, 1 o'clock,…
