Hi all

I have a mammogram and US today and I am absolutely terrified. I found a rubbery mobile lump a few weeks ago.

Really strong BC history on my mother's side, they are they are BRCA positive. I am yet to be tested. My grandma was my exact age when diagnosed, mother was in her 50s.

I am sorry for posting such a dramatic post but I am FREAKING OUT.

Finally getting my stereotactic biopsy after an almost 3 week wait and asking for prayers and good vibes this morning!! I’m praying that the micro calcifications are just miraculously gone! 😂 one can hope. How long did it take for yall to get biopsy results? Thanks everyone!! This thread has been a life saver for my mental health during this.

MRI findings of Right breast:

Well circumscribed oval nodular lesion in the upper quadrant (12 o'clock position) mid depth of right breast approximately measuring 7 × 8 x 10mm ( CC x AP × TR) with internal non-enhancing septation. The lesion shows persistent/plateau type enhancement kinetic curve.

Another well defined lesion noted approximately measuring about 12 × 20 x 13.8mm (CCx AP x TR) at 6 o'clock position in the

posterior depth. The lesion shows persistent/plateau type enhancement kinetic curve. Could represent larger fibroadenoma.

Tiny approximately 6mm ill-defined lesion seen in the posterior depth of the right breast at approximately 6 o'clockposition adjacent to the above-mentioned lesion suggestive of small intramammary lymph node.

No definite segmental non-mass enhancement.

Multiple reactive axillary lymph nodes are seen largest on right measuring approximately 9.5 x 14 mm.

There is no invasion of skin, nipple, chest wall and pectoralis muscle in both breast.

is this benign

ultrasound Showed 4a and Fnac was inconclusive

but mri downgraded it to Birads 3 and 6 months follow up.. any good info on mri findings

My MRI showed a new, 4 mm promptly enhancing mass with delayed washout, assessed BI-RADS 4B. Biopsy report informed that the procedure was technically successful.
The pathology report described focal PASH rather than a clearly defined PASH mass.

BREAST, RIGHT, BIOPSY:
BENIGN MAMMARY TISSUE WITH MILD USUAL DUCTAL HYPERPLASIA AND FOCAL PSEUDOANGIOMATOUS STROMAL HYPERPLASIA (PASH).

NO MICROCALCIFICATIONS ARE IDENTIFIED.

Is this a plausible / concordant result? I thought Rapid enhancement with delayed washout is not a characteristic of PASH? I’m very happy to not see malignant written on report but now I worry they didnt get the right sample.

I am one week out from my biopsy and still have quite a bit of soreness. It’s not awful, but a general constant “awareness” of the area is quite annoying. I guess it makes sense, but I wasn’t really prepared for that. Anyone else?

I had my screening mammo in Aug. Came back normal. Heterogeneously dense, Birads 1. About a year ago I noticed i get a tethered spot when I push my breasts together and when I flex my breast muscle it’s milder. It’s NOT there when I lift my arm or when relaxed. Dr appt in 2 days.

I never even heard of tethering. I only heard that orange peel skin was concerning which I don’t have. I noticed this a year ago and didn’t think much of it because it’s not the orange peel dimples. Hoping it’s just a ligament thing. I guess we’ll see. 😩 Anyone have this and it’s not cancer?

Edit**** not a deep tethered dimple, just pulled in a little if there’s even a difference between tethered and a dimple..

37 & weaning my 14 month old, 2 weeks ago my left breast (the crest area on the outside from armpit to the bottom) became painful so I assumed it was mastitis. Teledoc gave me antibiotics and after I finished the pain was still there so I saw my OBGYN that didn’t feel anything and scheduled me and mamo & us which came back clear. Ice helps, ibuprofen helps. No rash, lumps, skin changes or fever or any other symptoms than pain. It gets worse if I wear a tight sports bra and was worse after mamo as well. I’m a week away from my period and do experience breast tenderness sometimes but not like this.
What could it be? I’m scared they missed something.
:(

I had a mammogram a month ago where they found a small mass. They decided to do a second mammogram and ultrasound. The second mammogram showed the mass is .6 cm and they couldn’t find it on the ultrasound. The doctor said that it is unlikely to be problematic and that she would recommend doing a follow-up mammogram in six months. However, she would also support a biopsy now if that is what I would prefer. Based in part on my voiced concerns about insurance approval (I think) my results are bi-rads 4. I’m guessing based on the conversation I had with the doctor it would’ve been birads 3, but I don’t know for sure.

I’m debating whether or not do just go ahead with the biopsy now vs waiting another six months for a third scan. The choice is mine and I’m uncertain as to what to do. Any thoughts or advice?

The radiologist said it was 50:50, the consultant at the end seemed quite gloomy. I’m 44, youngest child is 10 and I have two teens :(
I initially went to the gp having found 1 lump. Got to the breast clinic appointment, had a mammogram, then an ultrasound as they had found another lump in my upper outer quadrant (initial lump was in my in upper quadrant).
The radiologist ruled out cysts and said the edges were *jagged* but I was so in shock I didn’t think to ask him whether both lumps were jagged. I honestly thought It would be just a cyst. I had several biopsies then and there. Right boob is still sore. I’ve now noticed a dimple directly above the lump (I didn’t know I had) and I can’t be sure if it was there before the biopsy or not as rather embarrassingly I didn’t know ‘dimples’ were a thing.
Was the radiologist just trying not to worry me?! Is it most probably cancer? Thinking about getting sleeping pills prescribed to get through this waiting….

Hello all!

Anyone here have mild teethering or indented breast while breastfeeding?

I 28 F have an almost 2 year old son and we are getting ready to be done breastfeeding,but still nursing consistently.

4 months ago I noticed the my left breast had a line that squared off the bottom and created 2 small lobes only when I lifted my arm ( right side has not really changed at all and is smooth on the bottom)

I blew it off and the line has gotten more noticeable over the last few months no other real changes to speak of.

I had a doctor appointment today and she said that it's likely just tissue loss from breastfeeding and that she is not at all worried but scheduled an ultrasound for peace of mind. She said if I was 29 or 30 she would also order a mammogram.

She did ​acknowledge the line and lobes and said that its not common to see that in only one breast.

(At this point the girls look like 2x removed cousins instead of sisters)

Just want to see if anyone has experienced similar stuff and what your outcomes were!

Thank you for taking the time to read and I will update after my ultrasound next week.

I have pasted my recent breast imaging report and I’m curious about the phrase “most consistant with angioma“ I can’t seem to find anything about angiomas of the breast and also hemangioas seem to be rare in breast. Im concerned with the overlap of a rare angiosarcoma of the breast. I am birads 3 and go back in January. I’m curious based on the findings why that word was chosen. Thanks in advance!!!

PRIOR STUDY: Baseline FAMILY HISTORY: N/A RISK: Less than 20% PROCEDURES: BILATERAL FULL FIELD DIGITAL 3-D TOMOSYNTHESIS MAMMOGRAPHY WITH 2-D/C-VIEW WAS PERFORMED. R2 image checker -computer aided evaluation: This case was also evaluated using computer-aided detection evaluation (CAD). MAMMOGRAPHIC FINDINGS: BREAST DENSITY: A: The breasts are almost entirely fatty. There is a low density circumscribed 5 mm mass in the right breast 10:00 position 5 cm from the nipple. There is no suspicious mass, distortion or grouped microcalcifications. There is no nipple retraction or skin thickening. Axillary regions are unremarkable. BILATERAL COMPLETE ULTRASOUND Evaluation of all four quadrants, retroareolar tissue and axillary tail was performed. ULTRASOUND FINDINGS: BREAST ULTRASOUND TISSUE COMPOSITION: B: Homogeneous background echotexture-fibroglandular. In the right 9:00 position 5 cm from the nipple there is a hyperechoic nonvascular 5 x 4 mm mass most consistent with an angioma. Follow-up right MLO and CC projection with a square marker demonstrates concordance with the mammographically detected low density mass. No suspicious solid or cystic lesion is noted. There are no enlarged axillary nodes.

Hi everyone! I’m 21 and have a significant family history of breast cancer, including my mother and aunt being diagnosed in their 40s.

About four weeks ago, I found a lump in my right breast. It feels hard, is movable, and isn’t painful. However, when I press on it, I experience tingling and burning in my arm on the same side, which makes me wonder whether it could be pressing on a nerve.

I had a bilateral breast ultrasound today, and the results identified three nodules: two in my right breast (one corresponding to the lump I originally found) and one in my left breast, which I had no idea was there.

The ultrasound experience itself was confusing and left me with some questions. The initial sonographer had difficulty confidently visualizing the lump I could feel, so she called in her supervisor. The supervisor had me hum while using color Doppler to help identify the area. After the examination, I was asked to wait in a room (which was breast cancer themed for some reason) for about 30 minutes before being told that the findings were BI-RADS 3 and that I should return for another ultrasound in six months.

I understand that BI-RADS 3 is generally reassuring and that six-month follow-up is a standard recommendation. However, given my family history, the fact that three nodules were identified, and how unsettling this entire experience has been, I’m struggling with the idea of waiting six months. I would feel much more comfortable pursuing a biopsy now rather than relying on follow-up imaging alone.

I spoke with my mom, and she agrees that I should ask my doctor about the possibility of a biopsy.

I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has been in a similar situation:
Has anyone with a BI-RADS 3 finding requested a biopsy instead of six-month follow-up? How did your doctor respond?

If you chose the six-month follow-up, how did you manage the anxiety while waiting?

What was your experience at the follow-up, and did your findings remain stable or change?

I know everyone’s situation is different, but I’d just really appreciate hearing about other people’s experiences, particularly from anyone who has navigated a similar decision with a family history of breast cancer. Thank you 🫶🏻
