For those who are experiencing symptoms or received concerning test results, but haven't been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Has anyone had a breast MRI for clip placement? Do they do the full MRI with IV contrast or is it abbreviated—e.g. no contrast—and only check to see if the clip is in the correct place? My doctor has already sent in the requisition for a post biopsy MRI to confirm clip placement, but I have a new palpable lump that isn't…
hello all I received an excision biopsy in 2018 and the result was atypical lobular hyperplasia cells. At the time the breast surgeon wanted me to take tamoxifen, but I declined. I have been receiving mammograms & a few MRIs at the beginning of surveillance period. Then went to just mammogram/ultrasound. Periodically, I…
Good evening! Long story short, I started having a severe pain in my breast 3 weeks ago. I ended up at my high risk breast specialist where they did an ultrasound. Turns out I had an abscess. They drained it with a needle and put me on antibiotics. The antibiotics I started with didn’t work and my abscess filled up again,…
hi! I’m f22 and felt something asymmetrical in my left breast a few months ago. I do acknowledge I have a lot of health anxiety, so things like this are blown out of proportion. I have no family history or risk factors. A couple months ago in my left breast, right above where the top of my areola ends, when I press in I…
Doing the waiting game again. 3 yrs ago I found 3 masses, all came back benign but one area did have microcalcifications. And they wanted to watch it in 6 more months. At 6 months, I went to a breast clinic, and right from the start they made it clear that I was "too young, and wasn't at risk". I was 34 with a history of…

After the last bout of mastitis I noticed a red patch on the side of boob and 6 weeks later it still hasn’t disappeared. It has a very slight orange peel…

Hello! My recent mammogram showed focal asymmetry on my left breast, something that has not been present in prior mammograms. Has anyone else had this and what should I expect if anything? I have a follow up mammogram of the left breast and ultrasound.
Hello everyone and thank you for taking the time to read my post! I had my first ever lump in my right breast 3 years ago, it was easy to feel its shape and it never hurt, and moved somewhat easily. It turned out to be a mass of fribrous tissue. This time I have a lump in my left breast, and it is very different from last…
My screening mammogram showed an irregular mass 21mm. This is a change from last mammogram done a year and a half ago. The radiologist scheduled an ultrasound for this coming Wednesday. How long does it usually take for results? Is it ok to call imaging center and ask? The waiting and anxiety is torture. I don’t know how…
