Stabbing pain from biopsy
Hello all, I've just had my second biopsy on my right breast, which was fortunately negative. I'm high risk due to several family members having had breast cancer, which is why I'm checked every six months. This biopsy, however, was horrible.

BI-RADS 3
Good evening, everyone, Sorry for the long post, I just needed to vent. I am 38 years old now, it all started 2 years ago, when I went to my doctor as my right breast was feeling sore, and my armpit was very painful.

Abnormal then nothing, abnormal and microcalcifications that lead to stereotactic biopsies on both sides, everything was benign. This time a regular screening then a letter stating I need to get further testing because of abnormal results.…

Disappearing Focal Asymmetry
I had a new focal asymmetry on screening mammogram back in March. I got called back and the asymmetry was still visible on mammogram, although it was smaller because of being compressed. It was not present on ultrasound. They said to go back in 6 months. So, I went back today and got a normal result. (Yay, so relieved!)…
