The area above my breast from my nipple to shoulder/clavicle has been swelling for the past year and I’ve had some clear discharge. I finally made an appointment…

Waiting on Biopsy results

Birad 4
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.

Mammo and Ultrasound With Birads 4
I haven't been here for sometime as I am 13 years out. I go for my mammos each year and personally I hate the place and do not trust them. I should have switched, but felt once a year I could deal with it. The issue is they did a biopsy in 2011 where I was dxed. Then after treatment they were biopsy happy. I had two bad…

Stabbing pain from biopsy
Hello all, I've just had my second biopsy on my right breast, which was fortunately negative. I'm high risk due to several family members having had breast cancer, which is why I'm checked every six months. This biopsy, however, was horrible.

Bleeding during biopsy - is it normal?
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.
