For those who are experiencing symptoms or received concerning test results, but haven't been diagnosed with breast cancer.
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…
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…
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…
