For those who are experiencing symptoms or received concerning test results, but haven't been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Went for my 6 month check up (due to multiple biopsies in left breast and one in right also had adh in left). Impression shows asymmetry in the right breast and questioned architectural distortion in the right medial breast. Was also reported that I have extremely dense breasts. Follow up mammogram and ultrasound not until…
Hi all, I have had mammograms since I turned 40 (and am now 47) and my GYN suggested ABUS in addition to mammogram because I am category C re: breast density. Mammo was clear but I heard from GYN that they found a 7 mm area in the right breast that they want to examine further (BIRADS 0). GYN said to call breast center…

I had several CT scans two years ago for non-cancer related issues that have since resolved, but am now having some breast symptoms I'm afraid might be something serious. Unfortunately, I'm laid off and have sky-high health insurance deductibles, so I'm trying to do my due diligence before getting professional advice. Can…
I've been trying to find the answer to this via journal data, but no luck. Inflammatory breast cancer is cited as "very rare" and that "1-5%" chance of IBC. However, most women with IBC seem to be diagnosed once the IBC has caused the 'typical symptoms', many of these symptoms seem to imply that the BC had been in the…
I have dense breast tissue and just got my MRI results. Being referred to a breast specialist? Im terrified!! I don't know what my results mean, can you help me understand?
Last May I noticed a lump in my right breast. It was the size of a pea. I had an ultrasound and the radiologist gave me a Birads 3 stating it was a fibroadenoma (two actually, one I couldn't feel but showed up on the ultrasound), and told me to come in 3 months for a follow-up. I went in August, again Birads 3, the…
Hi there. I have spent the past few weeks reading different posts on here… trying not to Google my MyChart results.. I am wanted to share what’s going on with me… and hoping I can get some support and lots of prayers. I had my regular mammogram which resulted in a Diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound due to some…
I cannot find my previous posts, but I was here in 2018 when I had a Birads 5 mass. My physician and radiologists told me to prepare for a cancer diagnosis. I had two benign core biopsies which were discordant, a normal breast MRI and finally an exicisional biopsy / lumpectomy at the end of 2018. The diagnosis was…
2 months ago I had my annual mammogram. I had a 3D mammogram, I have been doing 3D for more than 5 years because I have dense breasts. This year I received the note that everything was normal and “see you in a year.” I asked my doctor why if I have dense breasts they don't do an ultrasound and he told me that since I am…
