Breast Lump Concern
Hi, found a small firm round breast lump on monthly self exam. Over a couple hours it got less than I could not feel it anymore. Three days later still can't feel anything although the spot is tender from me trying to find it. Yearly mammogram 3 months ago was normal. Should I ask for mammogram/ultrasound. Should I be…

Bi-Rads 5 Limbo
I started having symptoms back in November - burning type pain & nipple discharge. I guess because of my age (34) & because the symptoms would come & go it was easy for me to blow it off. I also have no family history. Last month I realized I had a small scab on my nipple that had been present for weeks & no injury to…

Unusual ultrasound report
First Mammogram (age 40) required a call back because of finding in left axilla. Ultrasound performed a week later and this was the outcome. I understand the BIRADS rating, but this is very confusing. What is a large fluid filled area? I can feel fluctuating lump (soft, no skin changes) on the my left side extending to the…

Lump between collarbone and breast
While rubbing some lotion on a new psoriasis plaque I founf a lump between my breast and my collarbone. Kind of an oblong c shape. About 1" above top of my breast, 2" below collarbone. Thought it was one bump, then two bumps, but on feeling around it seems to connect by my sternum. It seems large to be a lymph node (or 2).…

Ibc concern
Hi everyone, I'm posting of concerns of my mom. She noticed around 5 days ago a bite below her nipple. She also seemed what to be a bite on her upper chest as well. The bite on her upper chest is just a small scab now, but the bite under her nipple is red. The redness has seemed to have lightened up a bit. It's only one…

I’m back
Hi everyone, I seem to post once a year or every couple years as I have issues after my screenings. I'm 39, extremely dense breasts. My mom had bc twice in her thirties, so I'm decently at risk. Last year I had a fast growing fibroadenoma removed from the right breast. They couldn't rule out a phyllodes tumor so they also…

Full on canyon like dimpling freaking out
A few months ago I started experiencing some pain, chalked it up to hormones. It persisted and worsened, then started being accompanied by what felt like an upcoming ingrown hair or something under the surface of my armpit but nothing ever came up. Now all of that continues with the added bonus of a full on canyon from my…

Calcifications

Went to my annual yesterday and got the results uploaded to MyChart that I need to go for a diagnostic on left breast due to “segmental calcifications on left lower inside breast”. Googling seems to tell me that segmental is the worst…

Growing lump not seen on scan and now second lump beside it
I’ve had mri with contrast, ultrasound and mammogram and none show a palpable lump. I found it last spring and doctor confirmed but it’s not visible. Since the spring it has increased in size and changed in shape. A new smaller lump has sprung up next to it. Both are confirmed by my GP. The hospital does not want to biopsy…

Duct Ectasia - new partial nipple inversion

Unclear Wording - Asymmetry/Distortion "possible"

Hyper awareness/anxiety or IBC
In 2015, I found myself here as I was experiencing some skin changes with my breast and upon googling (the worst, I know), found out ibc existed. I didn’t have it, thank God, but it took 3 diff breast doctors to tell me that. My mind created all sorts of problems. Fast forward to a few weeks ago and my right breast (which…

Focal asymmetry not seen on ultrasound but present in mammograms
Hello! I'm so confused after reading my report. It's very generic compared to others I'm seeing posted here. That actually annoys me. I'm not overly worried but I'm not, not worried either.

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.

Calcifications question
Hello, I had a mammogram due to my gyn finding a lump. While the lump turned out to just be fibrous changes, they consequently found that I have regional amorphous calcifications bilaterally. I was given a Birads3 score. Everything I’ve read online indicates that amorphous should be considered for biopsy. I am just curious…
