I'm here again
I had my annual mammogram yesterday. I saw the caller ID from my health care come through on my phone this morning and already knew I was getting called back.. they found architectural distortion with associated calcifications and need additional imaging and likely a biopsy. This would be my 4th breast biopsy. The prior 3…

"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…

Back on the merry go round....
I am waiting for biopsy results done yesterday. Had DCIS back in 2016. Treated with lumpectomy and rads. Thought I was done with it. Annual mammo yesterday showed micro calcifications near original scar. Radiologist strongly feels it is DCIS again. Since this isn't the first time on this ride, I know that until the whole…

Ultrasound questions
hi, I’ve had an obvious lump in my breast that i discovered maybe 6 weeks ago and had an ultrasound last week. I’m wondering if anyone can help me understand why they think it doesn’t need a biopsy? My doctor asked me to have the scan repeated at a specialised breast scan clinic so maybe they will do one there I guess. The…
