I am preparing for a biopsy. The mammorgram showed a 2.5 cm area containing clusters with linear branching. What questions should I ask? When should I begin to tell my family? (I don't want my children concerned if there isn't any reason)

Hi Kassie, I would definetly wait until after the results of the biopsy. What age are your children?

Hi Kassie, I understand how you're feeling. It's scary and then waiting on the results of the biopsy is horrible. Even though my biopsy turned out to be malignant.....know that 80% of biopsies turn out to be benign. I pray that you're in that 80%! I'm thinking of you. :)

If you are worried, go with how you feel. My mamogram saw nothing but I was worried so I went to a breast sugeron and had a sonogram and biopsy. I had stage 3 breast cancer. If you are worried keep going till you get a firm no you do not have cancer.

Not yet! Sounds like dense breasts so they need to do further testing to rule anything out. Have they scheduled further tests?

What does it mean she they say the mass seems solid and does not have much blood flow?

It means pretty much just that. Usually cancers have blood flows because that is how they are nourished to grow. You NEED to contact your doctor for a definite meaning in your specific case. Take care, Sharon

Ask your doctors all of the questions you can think of. Write them down and take the list to your appt. if they don't answer them in a way you can understand or don't want to spend the time them get another doctor!

Mammogram says nothing was discovered. Ultrasound says that there is a mass with lobulated margins and mixed echogenicity. Go in Monday for biopsy. Anyone else have experience with these terms?

Callie,
It is one of those "things" that so many times turns out to be benign. Lots of big scary words to describe the "thing". You won't know what it is until the biopsy comes back. Believe me, getting a biopsy done it far better than a doctor who says, "Wait and see for 6 months." You do...Comment 2Callie,

Believe me, getting a biopsy done it far better than a doctor who says, "Wait and see for 6 months." You do nothing but worry for 6 months. Hang in there and try not to let worry overtake your life between the time of the biopsy and its outcome. Take care, Sharon -

My mammogram nothing. the terms on the ultrasound don't sound familiar. Mine just had an empty space. Where the ultrasound didn't go thru. Then they scheduled me for biopsy. I got to chose needle or surgeon. I could feel my lump and just wanted it out. Most are not cancerous so good luck and prays.

Should I be concerned about heterogeneously dense fibroglandular tissue and a BI-RADS 2 benign findings?

Hope this helps: BI-RADS 2 means that your mammogram was normal (ie, no cancer), but other findings (eg, cysts) are described in the report. You should continue your routine screening.

I used to do mammos. and do know that dense breast tissue is more difficult to read but can be done. BI-RADS codes go from 0-6 with 0 meaning additional imaging needed to 6 meaning a known cancer that they added several years back as it used to only go to 5. You can probably google Bi-RADS code...

You can probably google Bi-RADS code and get some type of answer as I can't at the moment remember what 2 means.
