For those who are experiencing symptoms or received concerning test results, but haven't been diagnosed with breast cancer.
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…
Surgeon put titanium clips in my breast during breast cancer surgery against my wishes. I expressly told the surgeons nurse during pre-op that I did NOT want the clips placed in my breast. I understand why and what for but declined. How to handle this wrong doing. My body my choice.
Hi there. I'm high risk because of a strong family history (no known genetic mutations) and had been alternating yearly MRIs and Mammos. 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…

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…
I have a spot that appeared in my right breast a few days ago, it is smaller than a pencil eraser. I went straight into panic mode bc that is what I do. I literally do not have orange peel look, red/hot/tenderness, nipple is fine, no swelling. Looking for advice and see if this looks concerning. Edited by Mods to remove…
After a 6 week wait, my mri guided biopsy for two bi-rad4 suspicious masses is tomorrow morning. I strangely feel clamer now than I have in the past 6 weeks. The limbo ends tomorrow- whatever they find. Please send me all the good vibes and any advice on how long your MRI biospy took, if you were sore after, how long the…
I started HRT at the beginning of December. I have an Estradiol patch and which I change every 4 days abd 200mg Utrogestan daily. I went for a mammogram and the results were “Small apparent non-specific density” I have to go back for more imaging and potentially a biopsy. Should I stop the HRT?
Hi, I have an upcoming stereotactic core needle biopsy done with tomosynthesis and I don't know if it will be upright or lying down. Very anxious about this upcoming procedure. Would like to hear people's experiences with both. Thanks!
