31 y/o - Waiting for biopsy on Friday morning
This is the most terrifying week of my life. On Sunday night, I felt an ache in my right breast - between the top and my armpit. When I rubbed it, I felt two palpable lumps.

BI-Rads 4 MRI - So scared
I’m 43 years old with very dense, fibrocystic breasts. My mom had breast cancer at age 40, she had a mastectomy on her left side and has been cancer-free for 33 years.

Two Lumps BIRAD 4c

The Waiting is Making me Irritable
This is my first post here and I'm not going to lie, I feel like I am intruding where I don't belong and being overdramatic. The end of September, I had my first screening mammogram at 46. I didn't think anything of it, and the tech told me that being my first mammogram, not be surprised if I got a call back because…

Anxious and Stressed
Hello All, I just turned 45 years old this month. My doctor had ordered a mammogram in April (my first). Admittedly, I was not excited about this prospect, so I wasn't eager to have it done. When I went to make my appt (July 24), it was a good 3 month wait now that everyone is playing catch up due to Covid. On July 9, I…

CT or PET for recurrence or new cancer Dx?
My tumor markers took a jump so oncologist ordered a brain MRI (had that today) and a PET scan for Friday. They called today and said insurance is denying coverage and will only cover a CT. How is that for detection especially ILC? I'm a bit irritated / concerned of course.

BIRADS 5-biopsies of multiple masses soon
First, thank you all for sharing your stories. I have been a mess and the posts from the members of this community have been about the only thing that have kept me from falling over the edge after a BIRADS 5 mammo/ultrasound. I had a 3D screening mammo October 30, 2020. All clear, but I have heterogeneously dense breasts,…

itch and lump after biopsy
Hi ladies, I have been checking on all topics here since last month after I was recommended to a breast biopsy. I had the biopsy done on last Thursday and did not feel much pain from it.

Having biopsy this week, very frightened
Everything has happened so fast, my head is spinning. I went for my annual physical on Friday and brought up a small, mobile lump on my right breast that I had started noticing a couple of months ago to my PCP. She kept a poker face when palpating it and referred me for an ultrasound. I'm 33 and she thought a mammogram…

Here I am again
Hi Everyone, I have been an infrequent visitor to this site since 2005 (or was it 2006, can't remember). At that time, I had archtiectural distortions that resulted in an excisional biopsy within a week. I got lucky and it turned out it was sclerosing adenosis and atypical ductal hyperplasia. I have been vigilant since…

"Difficult" Biopsy Needed
Radiologist says I need a biopsy that will be difficult to do. That makes me nervous. I did a regular screening mammogram (I am 67), and they noticed a small "density" that wasn't on my mammogram from 18 months earlier. I have very fatty breasts so things show up easily. I was called back today for a diagnostic mammo and…

Having my first biopsy today. Nervous as hell!
I'm 43. I had my first mammogram in Nov 2019 and it came back fine. Said I had fibroglandular breasts, not dense breasts. I was supposed to have my 2nd mammogram in Nov 2020, but the hospital had a huge hack and they were unable to do mammograms for a few months. It was rescheduled to Feb 2021. But then I broke my ankle…
