For those who are experiencing symptoms or received concerning test results, but haven't been diagnosed with breast cancer.
I had my first mammogram ever in September with no history of breast cancer in my family. They called me back in for a diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound. The doctor then came in and told me that even though she was scheduling a biopsy I would be having surgery no matter what. She said that the biopsies aren’t always…
Hi, this is for anyone who has had abnormal swelling - and I’m not saying I think it’s cancer but I know a lot of you have had other breast abnormalities, too. The area above my breast from my nipple to shoulder/clavicle has been swelling for the past year and I’ve had some clear discharge. I finally made an appointment…

Had a breast MRI yesterday. My PCP ordered it because of my sister having clear mammograms prior to her dx, and my having dense breast tissue…
Hellooooo! My name is Jules, and I'm in the Waiting stages of this journey. Noticed a lump about 7-8 weeks ago, found by provider on exam for confirmation, and I've had my diagnostic mammo and ultrasound last week, biopsy scheduled for this coming Monday. As someone who works in healthcare, I have - of course - tried to…
Hello Everyone, I hope this day finds you well and I appreciate the existence of this board! It is such a nice resource for people to talk to one another. I am hoping maybe someone here might have some information on my weird health issue. It sounds outrageous, so please keep an open mind. I have a breast biopsy clip…
I apologize in advance. I'm just expressing my frustration over the delay in getting a biopsy and wondering if my experience is typical or not. This past August, I finally convinced my GP to order a screening breast MRI. I had it on September 14th. My background: I'm 67, have BI-RADS D breasts, annual screening mammograms…
Are there any breast imaging centers in US, which use ultrasound as primary breast cancer screen tool instead of mammogram? Thanks.
