For those who are experiencing symptoms or received concerning test results, but haven't been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Hello all of you wonderful brave women, This is my 2nd time coming back to this site and reading through posts of encouragement from others. At 41, I had a suspicious finding and a stereotypic biopsy. Results were benign. Now I am here again 5 years later and playing the wait game. My annual mammogram was April 18th and on…
I am higher risk due to family history and I have had a total of 4 biopsies, 2 in each breast (needle x1, needle core x2, and wire guided surgical x1) within the past 8 years (architectural distortion, masses, & cysts). Thankfully all have been benign. My last mammogram was the first normal mammogram I've had, BRIAD2, July…
Hello, I apologize if this is not the place to ask or if I could have found this answer elsewhere. I am new to the forum and was a little confused trying to navigate. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer at 47 years old. She is the first in her family to get breast cancer. My father was diagnosed with prostate cancer…
Hi everyone. I recently had my yearly mammogram, was called back in for a repeat diagnostic mammogram, and am now scheduled for a stereotactic biopsy on Wednesday.

But nonetheless, the language on their site does not include those whom have had breast cancer or have gone thru breast cancer treatments under the "whom should be…
Good afternoon, After noticing a lump about 1.5 inches around in my left breast, I went for a mammogram and ultrasound which showed nothing. Because I have extremely dense breasts and there is a palpable lump, they sent me for an MRI with contrast. It came back with the following results: "Left breast: There is extensive…
I had been having pain in my left breast for almost a year, until I decided to request a mammogram. I’m 39 years old, with no history of BC in my family. March 11th was my mammogram and they wanted to do a ultrasound right then in there too, before I left I was told “we found a mass and it needs to be biopsied” my world…
Hi, I am 45 and just recently had my first Mammo. I have very dense breasts which led me directly from mammo to ultrasound. The tech told me at least 5 or 6 times that my right breast was very “angry” and she understood why it was hurting. I have a biopsy scheduled for Thursday (one week after mammo/ut) and of course the…
