For those who are experiencing symptoms or received concerning test results, but haven't been diagnosed with breast cancer.
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…
I am still waiting to get into the breast surgeon. The lab is taking it's time getting the slides of my biopsy over. I just read my pathology report and it reveals ADH, LCIS, and microcalifications of my left breast. I cannot find anything with the three of these at once. I am extremely worried. Good or bad. I appreciate…

History: I am 49, mom had bc that presented as a lump she discovered on her own at exactly same age as I am currently, but she avoided medical attention to it for 9 years. Yes 9 years.…
I (43F) had my yearly mammogram in September. Shortly thereafter I was called to come back in for a 2nd one + ultrasound due to discovery of a 2cm mass in my left breast that was not there 1 year ago. The mass appears solid white on the screen with no clear shape. 2nd mammo showed the mass again, same size, but the…
I just turned 40 and had my first mammogram a few weeks ago. It came back needing additional imaging. Here is that report (other, more concerning to follow below): “IMPRESSION: Right breast focal asymmetry warrants further evaluation. OVERALL FINAL ASSESSMENT: BI-RADS 0: Incomplete. Need additional imaging evaluation.…
After a mammogram, I received the following results with two suspicious areas BI-RADS 4 1st Mass: • Shape: Irregular • Density: Isodense • Margins: Indistinct 2nd Mass: • Shape: Round • Density: Isodense • Margins: Shadowed Has anyone had a similar result? I was not given a subcategory. I have to wait until…
Hello, I was just wondering if anyone knows if there is a difference between "distortion" and "architectual distortion" on a mammogram. My finding just said "Right Distortion". They are recommending a follow up, of course. Thanks!
