For those who are experiencing symptoms or received concerning test results, but haven't been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Answer::: yes. I started a topic yesterday, Breast Cancer Symptoms, link live, and half the women mentioned their mass DID hurt before dx, biopsy and surgery. Still, we are being told by so very many of our MDs and breast surgeons (bs), in online searches and lists in magazines false information, them saying that the good…
Hi, all: I am 44 and just had my first screening mammogram. I've been called back for a diagnostic mammogram (BiRADS 0). Neither the radiologist nor the PCP has shared the reasons; I've tried reading the radiology report myself and have gathered that my right breast looks different from my left breast. I've been told that…
I'm 40 and got my first screening mammogram (3D) a few days ago. They found a "small lateral asymmetry best seen on CC tomosynthesis" on my left breast. They didn't see any microcalcifications. They captured a few extra images, so I'm guessing they saw it on multiple ones. The BIRADS score is 0, which means they need…
Hi all I really can use some words of encouragement right now. I'm 32 and I've convinced myself I have breast cancer. I am currently breastfeeding my 2 year old. However I have a large hard ridge like line in my breast. It extends almost from my nipple to my outer breast tissue and recently you can see it through my skin,…
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…
Hi. I'm 37 and have been having pain in my left breast as well as a very disturbing "let down feeling" in both breasts. I have nursed three children so I'm very familiar with the feeling. My youngest is 7. I had 2 fairly large cysts drained from my left breast in Oct 2016, and a fibroadenoma removed from the right in Nov…
Lifestyle Risk Factors and Breast Cancer Mortality Dr. Samantha El Warrak’s research found that a diet high in red meat was most linked to dying from breast cancer. May 27, 2025 At the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, Dr. Samantha El Warrak presented the results of her research on how five…
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…
