I got a call that I need a diagnostic mammogram following an abnormal routine mammogram. It is scheduled next week. I have now found an abnormal area in my breast. Do I call radiologist or dr and let them know prior to second mammogram.

So sorry for your scare. Good advise from the other ladies. Keep in mind 80% of lumps are benign! Try to stay positive and deal with the news as it comes. We are hear to listen and support you! Please keep us posted.

Sarah,
I HATE the abnormal mammograms and the call back.....arrrrgh. So scary. Just an Michele has said, most of these turn out to be ok. Try not to lose sleep about this.

I HATE the abnormal mammograms and the call back.....arrrrgh. So scary. Just an Michele has said, most of these turn out to be ok. Try not to lose sleep about this. It is so common the mammogram places have a form letter they send out. It could be something as benign as they didn't get enough boob on the film and just a different angle. If this is something different like they tissue looks weird, insist on an ultrasound and if need be.... a needle biopsy. Don't let them tell you "we will keep an eye on this."
Several of the women on this board were mis-diagnosed while they watched it turn into a more advanced cancer! (me included!!!) You have to be your own best advocate and insist on a difinitive diagnosis.... don't take NO for an answer. Hopefully, my suggestion will not be needed. Just in case, learn from those of us who have been there. Take care, Sharon

1 comment 0It's good you are aware and are doing the self exam. I would think what you are feeling is very normal breast tissue, glands & milk ducts. Your breasts can change as you get older and change with your periods as well. It's best to 'get to know' your breasts & figure out what is normal so you'll notice any change. With your period, they can swell & be sore. It's best to do an exam each month after your period has stopped. If you still have concerns talk with an adult & get checked out. Prayers to you.

Brianna, I started self exams at 16 & wondered how anyone could tell if there was a lump as I felt all kinds of stuff. But as Andre said, continue to do it and in a few months you will understand what's normal for you. If your school has a nurse you can go talk to her or your family doctor. A...
Comment 0Brianna, I started self exams at 16 & wondered how anyone could tell if there was a lump as I felt all kinds of stuff. But as Andre said, continue to do it and in a few months you will understand what's normal for you. If your school has a nurse you can go talk to her or your family doctor. A doctor can do an exam and help you understand what's normal and assure you things are ok. You can check with the American Cancer Society where you van get information on self exams & even details on health fairs in your area where you can talk one on one with a professional. Just remember, you are not destined to get cancer. Practice good eating habits, exercise and take good care of yourself, these things do make a difference. You're on the right track, do the self exams & reach out again if you need to talk. It's a scary topic, but education and knowing your body will help you now and in the future. Prayers & Blessings, Penny

Yes but it is treatable. Mine was about the size of a hard baseball. It left me with a right beast that looked like 1/2 was bitten off but the cancer was gone.

During election season everyone was saying one of planned parenthood 's big missions was offering mammograms to women who needed them. They don't offer them in my area but maybe in yours.

Call your family doctor or your gyn. If they can't help you call the hospital in your area. There are so many different places that help all over the country. If no one local can help you, contact the American Cancer Society. That's what all these places are for, to help!!!

Cancer doesn't usually fluctuate size. They call it a mass. You should get checked, but don't worry. Women's menstruation is a hormone fiesta. Your cycle probably went differently this month. Get checked.

2 comments 3It is extremely important you get in and be seen asap. Because of the ACA - Obamacare, you will probably be placed on Medicaid. I want you to start searching via Google....How to get medical care without insurance....in your city and or state. Call the American Cancer Society tomorrow and they can probably suggest where to go. I am very concerned about your symptoms, especially since this lump has grown and your nipple is inverting. You have got to be seen by somebody now. is there a women's clinic or a planned parenthood. Heck, google women's emergency healthcare or low-cost healthcare. Do let this go any longer.

You should have someplace local for a free mammogram. A lot of places will help but you have to start someplace.

I would do what is recommended. There must be something a bit off about the tissue that was sent in. I don't think it is necessary to post the lab results because we are not doctor's. Call your doctor and have the report explained to you. That way, you will know exactly what is going on. ...

Brother that does that ever sound stressful. I know how exhausting it is after you've given birth but please follow your oncologists request for a follow up.
