Biopsy Scheduled for Monday
I hate that this is my first post here. But I have biopsies in both breasts (mammogram guided on the left, ultrasound guided on the right) scheduled for this coming Monday. I knew the right wasn’t looking good - 1.2cm mass, with spiculation to 6cm. But they had trouble locating the mass on the left with the ultrasound. So…

One down, one to go
Hi everyone. Little background I went for my first mammogram and they found an asymmetry on the right breast that could not be seen well on u/s and one on the left that they classified as a mass that is non-circumscribed and hypoechoic and determined both needed a biopsy. I was given a Birads 4. I had the right side done…

Hi! I was here over a year ago when I went for a biopsy due to something found on ultrasound. Luckily it turned out to be PASH. This year mammogram found focal assynetery and went back for diagnostic and ultrasound on same breast that I had my lumpectomy. I could feel the thickening prior to the ultrasound once I checked.…

Couldn’t find lump on ultrasound
Hello all, I am 38 years old. I went for a mammogram about 10 days ago (due to pain in right side). The mammogram detected a 2.3 cm mass on the left side that the doctor wanted confirmed as cystic or solid. I went to my ultrasound today and the tech took some pictures but then said she couldn't find anything of that large…

Feeling foolish and waiting for biopsy
Despite being 39 w/ 0 history of breast cancer in my family I went in for my 5th mammogram and ultrasound in 5 years on Monday. Little background - I started finding so many lumps that instead of continuing to go in for tests all the time I was referred to a breast specialist who was basically like "Hey, learn what normal…

ABUS callback and panicking (again)
I’m hoping I can get some support again this go around from all of you wonderful ladies!! I am a 40F and I posted in here last year when I had my first ever Mammogram a couple months before I was to get married. They found a mass that required repeat testing and eventually a core biopsy.

Waiting is hard and I’m so confused
Well here I am, waiting for my biopsy results. Nervous and trying to be patient. First symptom was bloody discharge from my right nipple. I had an ultrasound and mammogram followed by a biopsy today, feeling quite sore. I have fibrocystic breasts (I think that’s the right term), which makes sense as they’ve always been…

2nd opinion showed involved margins
Ladies, I need some help to understand the pathology report better, please. I had a nipple-sparing mastectomy on 08/18/21. The pathology report showed negative margins for IDC and DCIS. After some hiccups, I decided to get a second opinion out of state. The new Center started everything from the beginning. They reviewed…

BIRADS-4, have to wait a month for biopsy, losing my mind.
Hi... this is my first post here. On Feb. 9 I had my routine mammogram. Showed possible developing asymmetry. Had to wait 3 weeks just to get a diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound, which was torture. But at least for those 3 weeks I was able to convince myself it's nothing, it's folded over tissue, it's your implant, it's…

Hi everyone, I am under a breast specialist because of random blood tests that showed an elevated cancer marker a couple of years ago. So I have annual mammograms and U/S - had them last Monday and was expecting my usual review meeting with the 'see you next year'. Not the case - they have found microcalcifications on L…

Bilateral Areolar Duct Excision

In 2013 I have a duct excision on my left and ADH was found. This time my nipple has no feeling but my right does. I know that can be a consequence of the procedure. Today (day…

Good morning. I am currently waiting on a retest result for blood coming from my right nipple (4 ducts involved). The first screening came back atypical, so Dr sent out for a retest. If results remain the same, all ducts will be removed for biopsy. a little history: I have very ‘active’ breasts. Bilateral wide excisions…

Waiting to get biopsy and an appointment with breast surgeon.
I had 3d mammogram and ultrasound yesterday as I was flagged for a asymmetry finding during my screening. The testing actually went okay, had to go back and forth between 3d mammogram and ultrasound twice as they were trying to find more about it I guess. I got to meet the Doctor (Radiologist) after a long wait and was…

Biopsy on Monday and I am unable to sleep
I am going for biopsy on Monday and I have been really trying to keep myself occupied with little things I enjoy. But, I am still not able to sleep at all and my feelings are all over the place.

Ultrasound guided biopsy
hi, I'm new to the forum and had a biopsy today. The technician that was doing the ultrasound for it was prepping me and ran the ultrasound over my armpit and took a bunch of images. My mass is 1.2 cm at 6:00 on right breast and no mention has been made of my armpit at all, I'm a nervous wreck and just wondering if it's…

BI-RADS 5, four biopsies this week
Hi all, first post. Sadly, I'm no stranger to the cancer community. I had Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia when I was a kid, that later relapsed and was treated with a BMT. I had my first mammogram last week because of my own cancer history and family history of breast cancer. It wasn't very conclusive, so I went back a couple…

"high risk for breast cancer" on medical records
Hi! I'm 40 and just had my first mammogram. They called and want to do a follow up mammogram and ultrasound. I don't have the mammogram results in my online portal, but I noticed that under problems, it says "High risk for breast cancer." Can having dense breast tissue flag me for this problem in my records? I have no…

Seems like this is my own fault
Hi. I'm 41, just had a core biopsy done of a breast lump. Nurse Navigator seemed to be preparing me for a cancer diagnosis, though the other day the radiologist said it could go either way-- she said BIRAD4B and gave me 50/50 odds. I've had this breast lump for a LONG time. Had a smooth, rubbery, very moveable lump that…

Back on the Forum due to Another Problem Mammogram
Hi all, I was here a few years ago in 2020 after the discovery of a radial scar/complex sceloresing lesion via a biopsy on my first mammogram at 40. I had a lumpectomy the size of a golf ball, which found no cancerous cells and a complex sclerosing lesion. I had two six month follow up mammograms that were clean. Flash…

How bad does this MRI report look? Biopsy not back yet..
If any radiologists or oncologists by chance are on this site and happen to see this, I'd love your honest feedback... as well as responses from any ladies who have had similar imaging results. In early 2016 I had breast cancer in right breast, had lumpectomy and radiation and 5 years of Tamoxifen (stopped last August due…
