We know, waiting is VERY difficult but we're here for you.
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…
I am a 42 year old woman. I did my first ever screening beginning of this year. I went for a biopsy last week for asymmetry and distortion in 2 regions on same breast. Each region less than 1 cm. I will know the results next week, but anxious. Google says ppv for distortion malignancy is 75%. I had assumed the chances are…
Hi Everyone. I'm new and like so many here, waiting on tests. I had my annual screening mammogram on 12/21/20 and got called back for more views and ultrasound, which was done on 1/4/21. After those were complete the radiologist referred me for a biopsy stating the asymmetry was consistent throughout the new views. I am…
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…
Hello, I had my yearly mammon and ultrasound today. But this year, I had to get extra pic on my left side both for the mammo on ultrasound. For the mammo the tech said there was a skin fold. For the ultrasound the tech (different one) said she needed pictures to compare possible changes in my left breast from last year. I…
Went in Friday for my call back diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound. 1 hour of mammogram pictures including magnified images. Then half hour ultrasound by technician followed by doctor coming in and doing scan as well. You know things aren’t great when they keep looking at you like you should be freaking out. Results…bi…
