For those who are experiencing symptoms or received concerning test results, but haven't been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Hello, I went in for a routine mammogram (my 10th one) and for the first time I had an abnormal mammogram, and a small mass was found that was given the BIRADS 4 rating. I am now waiting for a stereotactic core needle biopsy. I learned about the titanium marker that will be put in during the biopsy and after talking to my…
Hi Everyone. After 3 weeks of waiting for an ultrasound and biopsy of two suspicious masses- Bi-Rad 4, the ultrasound technician was unable to see my masses bc of my extremely dense breasts. Now i have to wait another 3 1/2 weeks for an MRI guided biopsy.Has anyone else gone through this?
Hi all. They found a mass on my recent screening and now I'm waiting for my diagnostic mammogram and US next week. I don't know if it was an oversight on the breast care navigators part but I didn't even think to ask for the actual report. She didn't give it either and the final report isn't loaded in my portal. Just shows…
Hi all, A few years ago I posted here. I have had one breast that has breast tissue which feels thicker/firmer. Basically if you look up descriptions of ILC it's exactly what it sounds like in my breast. The other breast is much softer. I've had three ultrasounds, one where it was a consultation with a breast surgeon. Lots…
My Mammogram came back normal, I'm 43 years old with no cancer history in the family. This is the first year I've asked for an ultrasound as I have dense breast tissue. The results were as follows: "Ultrasound was performed by the technologist. Representative images of all 4 quadrants and subareolar breasts were obtained.…
I just had my annual screening mammogram and need to go back for more imaging. Focal asymmetry BiRads 0. The best I can tell, the radiologist saw a new area of density in the left breast compared to three previous films. A few months ago, I changed from Premarin vaginal cream to Estradiol cream. The dose on the estradiol…
Hi, I’ve been a member a long time and survived DCIS breast cancer 16 years ago. At that time the cancer was found on my mammogram as tiny microcalcifications in my right breast. I went for my annual mammogram this week and two areas were discovered in my left breast. I’m going to copy the report and hopefully someone on…
Background: No immediate family history of breast cancer. I’m 39 and this was my first mammogram. :( I observed an inverted left nipple in mid to late February (which couldn’t have been there long, I self check often) that led to my very first mammogram and ultrasound yesterday. They found a spiculated mass that my gyno…
I received a call back but they can't get me in for 3 weeks. Just received my report today. I'm confused about what they mean 6mm density. Breast Composition Category C: The breasts are heterogeneously dense, which may obscure small masses.. There is a 6 mm density in the right breast posterior depth superior region seen…
I had my first mammogram at 40 last week and have already been called back twice for additional testing. In the most recent report, they requested a diagnostic mammogram and another targeted ultrasound to evaluate a focal hypoechoic non-mass lesion with tubular architecture in the left breast. Based on your experience, is…
