We know, waiting is VERY difficult but we're here for you.
So frustrated and stuck in limbo. Just turned 41 and long story short, I’ve been having a rollercoaster of mammos, dx mammos, US, biopsies, MRI, and more biopsies since April. Side note: also found out then that I’m highly allergic to MRI contrast. Last pre-biopsy meeting, I find out that one area of architectural…
Hello Ladies, I had an abnormal screening mammogram and then I had a diagnostic mammo and U/S. The U/S showed a suspicious spot, so they want to biopsy it. I decided to switch breast care centers because I didn't like the radiologist. I felt like it was now processing number 20. I went to get the films from one place to…
Had lumpsectomy and now waiting for onco test score to determine if I need chemo or not. Oncologist doesn’t think so based on my other data - eg Stage 1A 1.5cm tumor size . Grade 2 Can anyone tell me what the ER and PR mean below especially the 3+ want to work out my H score ? Pathologic TNM Staging (AJCC 8th edition) pT1c…
Hi all. I've been on a breast "journey" for almost 2 years. I've had more mammograms and ultrasounds than I can count and it seems like they find something(s) new every time. I just had an MRI and it found even more areas that they want looked at again. It feels like I'm swimming in a sea of tests with no answers. Does…
Hi All, Thank you very much for your kind support this past month. I really appreciate it. I had core needle biopsies and an excisional biopsy in 2009 when I was found to have fairly diffuse atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) on the right side. I have been on the 6 month screening alternating MRI with mammograms for about…
Hi, I had a routine mammogram the radiologist said the concern was BIRAD 5. Then I had a biopsy. The radiologist said it was cancer. He went on to say he would not believe my results if they came back benign. Which is a pretty confident answer. What do I do with that comment? I went home believing I had cancer. The biopsy…
Hi all! I am 42, and went for a diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound yesterday. I’ve been going since I was 30 since my mother had bc at the age of 40. I had noticed some tethering of the underside of my left breast and then felt around and found a new lump. I have firbrocystic breasts with multiple cysts and fibroadenomas…
Well, first hi to everyone here. I’ve seen a lot of info come in other posts, and I’m hoping for some help/confirmation here. Just got the initial biopsy result back - invasive ductal carcinoma, histologic grade II, tubule formation: 3, nuclear pelomorphism: 2, mitotic activity: 1. No results yest on er, pr and her2. Mass…
I can’t believe I’m actually here, venting, hoping for any positive feedback. I had a breast reduction 2 years ago. My screening mammo came back negative one year after (so last year) and now this year something has popped up, a focal asymmetry. I had 3d mammo, US, and biopsy. Report said it could be from surgery but “due…
Hello- I had an MRI guided biopsy today for a BIRADS-4 designated 5mm non-mass enhancement (focal with washout kinetics) that was found on a baseline MRI two weeks ago (dense breasts, multiple u/s biopsies and high risk assessment score got me approved for the MRI); the procedure itself went fine. Lengthier than the…
