Waiting for the biopsy results.
Hello, I am new here. I had an abnormal mammogram (spiculated spot) and ultrasound so far. I also had a biopsy on Monday. The results are not back yet. However the surgeon called the pathologist and got the preliminary results: IDC, grade 2-3 (no molecular profile yet -ER?PR?HER?). I am thinking about having a mastectomy…

Waiting on biopsy
I am a 47 year old mom of 4. I recently had my routine 3-D mammogram and was called back for further testing on my left breast. I wasn't too worried because I was called back last year for the right one. Last year, I had an ultra sound and no further tests were needed.. Fast forward to this year and the other breast...they…

Biopsy in Two Days . . .Terrified
Like everyone else here, I wish I didn’t have to make this post. I am 45F, and had a screening mammogram a couple of weeks ago, on 7/20. Like an idiot, I hadn’t gone since 2019 - the pandemic, and then I just kept putting it off. I got a call-back and they ordered an ultrasound. In the past, it has always ended up being…

I then had a biopsy for which I amcurrently waiting on the result. My symptoms have been skin discoloration, itching, and pain. For this reason, I am terrified this is…

Birads 4b

It was tender and mobile and I noticed it same day as mt period so assumed a cyst but on US tuned out to be a birads 4b. I am 36 with three small babies and am so so anxious. Any one have similar results and a good outcome? Thanks

Disappearing lesion?
Hello everyone. I'm a 32 year old who is currently going through testing. In May during a breast ultrasound they found a 3x2cm mass in my left breast. I was labeled Bi-RADS 4 and referred for urgent mammogram & repeat ultrasound. I had these tests done 5 days later. The mammogram didn't locate anything due to extremely…

Clear breast discharge that led to sono
I feel so stupid. After 3 years, I weaned my son but having had oversupply and overactive let down, I never worried that my breasts continued to drip very slightly, even when it became clear and only one side. This went on for at least a year before I read a pamphlet that alarmed me. Unilateral, spontaneous, clear…

More imaging...more waiting....
Just got back from my appointment at SCCA. Loved the dr. I was given. She took the time to listen to my concerns, understood my frustrations with the last mammo/ultrasound, and didnt once say "you are too young for cancer". My story in short: Found a lump way up high on my pectoral muscle a few months ago. Primary care Dr…

This wild Ultrasound Experience as I wait for Biopsy Thursday
A few years back (like probably at least 5) I was called back for a follow up mammo and U/S. Was told basically not to worry, but if i wanted a biopsy I could have one. (Radiologist was awesome, and showed me on his computer the area, how it hadn't moved or changed in three years, hadn't vascularized. He was wonderful. )…

Birads 4a-STEREOTACTIC BREAST BIOPSY
I spent 27 days reading all of the posts on here over and over during my wait but never had the courage to post during that ordeal. I decided I needed to post my experience because I gained so much info from others and every time I read a post that seemed to fit my situation, it helped. I would be so disappointed though…

Last biopsy result finally
Today I received my last biopsy results. All three biopsies came back benign. Fantastic news! Boy, that took what seemed like an eternity. I have to do my right mastectomy again for the incorrect pathology results and that the mastectomy was not a complete mastectomy that left behind residual tissue. Due to the additional…

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…

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.

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…

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. Sometimes I feel I am worrying unnecessarily and I can handle the biopsy and any result, but sometimes I am terrified. Seeing so…

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…
