We know, waiting is VERY difficult but we're here for you.
For the last 6 months I have been experiencing a strange shooting pain sensation on my left side, right between my armpit and my breast and it would radiate through my breast. I ended up going to the ER because I thought that I was having a heart attack. I am almost 37 years old. The ER told me I had inflammation in my…
I had my yearly mammo monday. I am 49 with family history of paternal grandmother having breast cancer. Mammo showed small mass 9 cm away from my areola. She had me do ultrasound after and then a cone biopsy for 3 samples. I was given Bi Rads 4 but with no subcategory. Ultrasound biopsy read Oval hypoechoic 0.6 x 0.3 cm…
I had a mastectomy two years ago following 8cm DCIS. They found 5mm of tumor and sent it for oncotype but not enough to be analysed so no chemo. All lymph nodes clear and had reconstruction. Last year I felt a raised part under my arm same side as mastectomy. Had an ultrasound and nothing showed up so consultant thought it…
I’m 28, almost 29. I’ve had breast pain for about 5 months now. It’s spread to surrounding areas like my back, rib, shoulder, and arm. A lump showed up around 3 months ago, another one followed a couple weeks later. I had an ultrasound (they didn’t want to do a mammogram due to my age) and it showed dense breast tissue but…
hi I had surgery 4 years ago for a DCIS . This year I’ve been called back for a biopsy today after they say there is an area which could be calcifications. I had a nightmare biopsy as it was nearly on my chest wall. Worried now , is this normal to happen after surgery around the area and why would they do a biopsy what…
Hi all, long post to give context but the TLDR is — what to do about a large lump with high-risk/atypical findings (but not necessarily malignant) and positive-margins in one breast five years after early stage cancer in the other breast? Five years ago, I had a lumpectomy and radiation for stage 1 ER/PR-negative cancer in…
It's unbelievable how terrible the waiting process is!!! I've tried distracting myself, it only works sometimes. My left breast ultrasound a few years ago showed a cluster of complex cysts at 12 o'clock (birads 3), which has been monitored every 6 months ever since. The most recent was done on Aug 12 which showed it seems…
I found a lump in my breast and went to the clinic yesterday where I had a mammogram then ultrasound. I am high risk due to my mum having R & L breast cancers and same for one auntie and just one breast for other auntie. At the initial consultation the Dr said its probably a cyst but at the ultrasound the radiologist said…
I was expecting the call back for further tests because they told me at my screening that I have dense breasts. But what I wasn’t expecting was the finding that says “spiculated mass” found in right breast. When I googled that it says a 90-96% chance that it is malignant. Has anyone had that and had it NOT turn out to be…
Hi, I’m 5 weeks post diep flap surgery for lobular BC and waiting for oncotype test result, which I have just found out will be over the phone. Has anyone had Oncotype result over the phone which resulted in chemo? I’m stressing out about difference between in person and phone consultations and if there is any difference…
