Okay, so I was diagnosed in 2015, (see my stats below), and today I had a stereotactic biopsy for an area of concern that did not present on my mammogram in April.
I was given the mammogram/ultrasound report today and this is what it says about the area of concern:
"At the left breast, (this is the non cancer breast, by the way), 3:00 position, 10 cm from the nipple, there is an oval hypoechoic mass with mildly lobulated margins measuring 8x5x4 mm and is considered suspicious."
Trying to breathe and remain calm.
Diagnosed at 41. Diagnosed 2nd time at 45.

etnasgrl: Do they plan to do a biopsy or wait for a follow up in a few months? The hardest part is waiting for the answers. I'll send up positive thoughts that this will be a benign mass. Hang in there.
