For those who are experiencing symptoms or received concerning test results, but haven't been diagnosed with breast cancer.
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…
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…
ok ladies, just home from this procedure and thought I would share in hope of helping someone in the future facing the anxiety and worry. 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.…
