Besides breast pain and tenderness I mean. I know that you should get mammograms at the beginning of your cycle because near the end of you cycle your breasts are denser. But I know that ultrasounds see through dense breast tissue better. So is there any reason why one should schedule a breast ultrasound at a particular…
I under diagnosis of breast tumor. I had USG, mammography, biopsy, blood test and waiting for the results. I was sent by the doctor to computer tomography (CT) for lungs, pelvis and abdomen test. However, I wander if MRI could be done instead of CT (at least partially e.g. for pelvis or abdomen) and have the same…
Hi everyone, I am 38 and I had an IBC scare a few years ago (and a long history of health anxiety). Everyone here was so kind (and honest) about it, which I deeply appreciate still. It turned out to be a “chemical” mastitis on my left breast from popping a boil. I ended up getting an MRI that found nonmass enhancement in…
I've had 3 BIRADS 4 on ultrasound over time in the past 3 years and each time resulted in a biopsies. All came back benign (thank God). I'm considered as high risk with LCIS and family history so I have to do MRI once in a year. I did MRI for the first time and it showed multiple BIRADS 4 areas(4 in total) in my both…

I was a year behind on my MRI and had one yesterday that came back with asymmetric non masslike enhancement in one breast. (Ironically NOT my troublesome one that had been biopsied…
Forgive the longer post. I'll try to be as concise as possible. To preface, I am non-lactating due to having a hysterectomy in 2019. I am 36 years old. Back in 2022, I had an excisional biopsy for a fibroadenoma in my left breast. About one month later, I developed a seroma and had it drained. Fast forward to 2024, I…
Hi All, i need some advice to help me stop from spiralling out of control. Thanks in advance for your guidance. I am 40 years old. My screening mammogram identified a focal asynmetry (BI RADS 0) in my left breast. The followup diagnostic mammogram said focal architectural distortion 12 o clock centrally 5 cm from the…
This will be my fourth post about what is becoming a never ending nightmare waiting game for a tests and diagnosis. A quickie summary: I had a screening breast MRI (strong family history of breast and ovarian cancer and very dense breasts) on Sept 14th last year that showed a non-palpable BIRADS 5 spiculated nodule in the…
