For those who are experiencing symptoms or received concerning test results, but haven't been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Many of you have experienced pain under the arms or felt "swollen" lymph nodes and have had reports that were just short of complete in describing them in my opinion. The overall size of a lymph node is more often less important than their internal architecture in breast cancer. The key is the thickness of the cortex and…
I was dx with right breast IDC and DCIS in January 2021. Had lumpectomy, radiation and on Letrozole. For the past two weeks I have noticed dots of orange fluid in my bra and on nightgowns from the left breast. I have never had this before. My question is would it be ok to wait until my scheduled diagnostic mammogram in 5…
So for as long as I can remember, it seems like one breast or the other is more "noticeable" in terms of discomfort, etc. I've learned to deal with it and not let it cause too much stress, but for the past month or so, I've had an odd sensation in my left nipple- it's a cold sensation, and sometimes it almost feels wet,…
Hi all, While breastfeeding my kid, I've had some weird lumps, and an indent appear. It spurred a docs visit which led to 2 ultrasounds over a year, and both showed nothing. I'm a worrier, so my doc sent me to a surgeon. The surgeon sent me for an MRI and mammogram. I did the MRI first and it came back clear. A month later…
I was previously on this site in 2020 with my 2nd scare that turned out benign. Now I'm at my 3rd scare. I've had 4 screenings post age 40. 2 required a biopsy that resulted in benign findings (one was an excisional biopsy because the needle biopsy was discordant). Finally in 2022 I had a clean screening for once! Now in…
Just had my annual mammogram and have always had normal screenings. I'm a 46 y/o with heterogeneously dense breasts. Got the call about an hour after the screening that I need f/u imaging due to "subtle architechtural distortion" of the left breast. Needless to say I'm scared and can't get an appt. for a diagnostic mammo…

Hi! New here and scared. I went to HerScan for a screening ultrasound and got back this Hypoechoic area 8:00 right breast 3-4 cm from nipple measuring about 14 mm. Adjacent complicated cystic density measuring about 13 mm. Complicated cystic density 1:00 left breast 2-3 cm from nipple measuring about 10 mm. Cystic density…
I'm 45 and at my regular check up my dr. told it was time to start mammograms. Since I'm self employed, my insurance doesn't pay for preventative care so I decided to pay for a "herscan" 3D ultrasound instead of a mammogram b/c it was advertised as more thorough and I was going to have to pay anyway. The results came back…
