waiting after ultrasound, genetic testing

CMCARPE82

This forum seems like a very helpful place where I'm hoping I can get a little clarification and reassurance. I am new to these boards and am waiting to go do my genetic testing in mid may (the first opening they had). every woman in my family has had breast ovarian and cervical cancer several times and some with a combination all before menopause as well as my aunt 48yrs old and cousin at 20 yrs old testing positive for brca1 gene and my sister 36 yrs old for colorectal cancer, so needless to say im 35 yrs old and worried due to multiple breast changes this year I have a lot of pain in my nipple almost like a hot iron going throught to my back and constant pain under both my arms. I had an ultrasound done a few weeks ago but haven't been able to relax since. i feel like somethings wrong and now i have to wait 6 months for ultrasound and until may for genetic testing. Any help you could give me with interpreting my ultrasound results would be awesome.

Multiple hypoechoic masses bilaterally measuring approx. 9mm in greatest dimension in right and left breast, appearance most consistent with simple and mildly complex cysts well as intramammary lymph nodes. most suspicious appearing nodule occurs in the 10 oclock position of the right breast 1cm from the nipple and measures 6x3mm in size. repeat bilateral u/s recommended in 6 months to confirm stability with particular emphasis on lobulated nodule in the 10 oclock position of the right breast approx. 1cm from the nipple. birads category 3 probably benign findings

i had a core biopsy. At first I was told, looks like cyst and now they think lymph node. The results came back benign tissue, but still no explanation of the mass. 1 o'clock, 6cm from nipples and 1 cm in diameter. Surgeon believes benign and recommends u/s in 6mos. My genetic testing is may 16 ( a life time away).

I'm still scared. My maternal great grandma had radical masectomy, my maternal grandma had ovarian cancer and my mom had breast cancer.

I wish there was more I could do.

I know exactly how you feel, I wonder why it seems like my doctors are ho hum about everything meanwhile im freaking out knowing my family history and knowing that somethings not right with my body. I totally know what you mean when you say testing is a lifetime away, i don't think they realize the anxiety this kind of waiting does to a person. I like to be in control of my problems not just watching and waiting.
