We know, waiting is VERY difficult but we're here for you.
I wanted to thank all the women who responded to my concerns. It turns out that the irregular nodule was actually a cluster of small cysts. There is no cancer evident. I will see the breast cancer surgeon in six months for another mammogram and ultrasound. After a month of waiting, I have my answer. The good news is that I…
I’m concerned about the wait times for basic diagnostic appointments…best practices is symptoms to pathology (in Canada) in 7 weeks. BC recommends 4 weeks as their standard. I have waited 6 weeks for an initial mammogram/ultrasound after finding a large, new, hard lump in my right breast. I am now on week 2 of waiting for…
I've had my biopsy on Monday and I have a question about the procedure. I was too stressed to ask the doctor when she was doing it, and then when it was all over, I couldn't wait to get out of there. So, here I am, asking you. I was lying on the side with my arm up, I kept my eyes closed during the biopsy, but the first…
Hello All, I'm really worried to be here but also glad there is a community I can vent to and share my fears with as I wait for my biopsy results to come back. Long story short, last July 2023 while I was breastfeeding (pumping only) I noticed a lump in my right breast. I brushed it off for a few days, then got really…
I just received results from a screening mammogram. An archtiectural distortion was noted in the left breast with no mass observed. I am being asked to go back for a diagnostic mammogram and an ultra sound. I have to wait 2 weeks for these tests which is very anxiety producing. It was noted that the architectural…

Received this report: FINDINGS:Right breast MRI: The background parenchymal enhancement is moderate. The breast composition is heterogeneous fibroglandular tissue. No abnormal…
I had my yearly MRI yesterday and knew something was amiss when my results were not posted in my portal the same day. A radiologist called me today to say there a small area of enhancement next to the area of my lumpectomy. An MRI guided biopsy is needed but the area is far back and they are not sure they can reach the…
need some thoughts, comfort or encouragement on my current situation. I have a diagnostic mammogram and bilateral ultrasound on Wednesday but struggling with the wait. I have had severe itching of the R breast nipple and areola about a year. It was nipple, then whole areola then below the areola and it feels like a deep…
49 y/o female, 110 lbs, 5’4”, Caucasian, post menopausal, on hormone replacement therapy since 2/10/2023. I went for my annual screening mammogram and screening breast ultrasound for dense breasts on Thursday and this is my mammogram report. The mammogram report is so confusing to me and am requesting help to understand…
I am 41, married with 3 kids. I had a mammogram followed by an ultrasound yesterday. I am now scheduled for an ultrasound guided biopsy later this month. I also have a surgeon appointment in a few days. I’m terrified. The waiting, wondering. The ultrasound shows a birad 5. That seems like a likely malignant diagnosis. The…
