Birads 4 never went back for follow ups 😞

I have at least 2 lumps that I know of, one on each side. My breasts are very lumpy and it's so hard to tell if there are new lumps.

I was seeing a midwife before but after my last child who is now 3, I stopped going back. I finally established a primary on Monday. The appointment was very rushed. The first thing she said was "we're going to have to do this quickly" then said if I had any concerns we would have to do the physical another time. I opted to do the physical and just asked if she could reorder my ultrasounds so I could follow up, even though I did have other things I wanted to talk about..So now I need to make another appointment to talk about the other things.

3 years ago I had a core needle biopsy of the right lump after my ultrasound had suspicious findings. It was diagnosed as a fibroadenoma, atypically appearing. I was supposed to do follow up ultrasounds every 6 months. The left side was not biopsied because it had decreased in size from the last u/s and appeared similar to the other one, even though they feel different and have different symptoms.

Over the last 3 or so years I have had incessant itchiness on the right and the lump is really painful. It doesn't seem to be any bigger, but it kind of feels like two lumps instead of one and it's pretty moveable. The left side used to be very moveable and has always been painless but now seems to be attached to the breast tissue.

I just scheduled my ultrasound for Valentine's day because it was the earliest opening they had. 3 weeks of waiting.. you'd think I could handle that after not seeing a doc for 3 years.. but the anxiety is on high.

I also have frequent dizziness that I thought was anemia, but my hemoglobin and hematocrit we're perfect and I stopped taking my iron years ago, so now I'll have to figure out what's causing it.
