I need advice...

MRI's typically show a lot of false positives.  Did you have a suspicious reason for the MRI?   Cat 4 is not highly suspicious for BC but means they just don't know.  The biopsy is done under MRI guidance and takes about 1-2 hrs usually.  Your breast will be sore afterwards but should not be really painful.   It would be a good idea to have some ativan or something similar to take before this procedure just because it will relax you better in the machine.  This will probably be B9  and I am sending good thoughts and wishes to you.   I hope this answers some of your questions.   Feel free to PM or ask more questions/ I will answer what I can.   Ginny

Of course  you are scared.  I think we all are every time we have to go have something looked at (again) or have the next level of testing, or receive a letter like you describe.  I used to feel guilty  about being scared/anxious.  Not anymore.  I once told my BS, early on, he should have a candy dish filled with xanax in his waiting room (and I was really only half kidding).  I don't do needle biopsies anymore without 0.5mg xanax.  It's not alot, but it makes me more comfortable.  Same with MRI's.   Since I don't normally take it, that's enough for me.  And, not everyone needs it, but I'm sort of an anxious type.

  I've been going through this for 6 years, and have finally made a decision to have a BMX, but you are just beginning the journey, and I think there are a MYRIAD of options (from, it's fine, it was a false positive, to careful monitoring, to lumpectomies....) the list goes on and on.

  For now, sounds like you will be having a biopsy.  I am sending you positive thoughts and energy.  If you want information, I have recieved more than I can believe from women here who have been through what I have and have gone through what I am facing.  The support is here-and I find it very helpful and comforting!

Hi, A difficult decision that only you can choose what is right for you.  I had a double mastectomy, removal of ovaries and fallopian tubes in 2008, then I had reconstruction, chemo, radio and am taking arimadex, the treatment has been horrible but I am willing to try anything that is thrown at me, chemo is not nice and I did lose my hair and felt like poo everytime, but I got through it and if (please God it wont) it should come back I would have chemo again, my drs and surgeons etc have been fantastic and I take whatever they offer me.  Good luck with your choice.

In her breast women are more likely to discover it is not cancerous tumors and neither areas hub of mastopathy and fibroadenoma. This benign tumours arising from the tissues of the breast.

Their causes are not entirely clear. It is known that these tumors arise most often in adolescence on the background of "violence" hormones. A fibroadenoma, as a rule, without any participation of the doctor. One or more of the "ball" with a smooth surface roll in the chest. Unlike cancer these tumors do not destroy the near located tissue and does not spread throughout the entire body.

Diagnostics

Fibroadenomas are diagnosed according to the ULTRASOUND, mammography, cytology and certainly clinically (specialist's examination).

The more dangerous fibroadenoma?

Rarely fibroadenomas are rapidly increasing in size and reach of impressive size. The tumor can not just take the chest, but to turn the breast in a large bowl, making the breast is not symmetric. This is the so-called giant fibroadenoma. Among them there are leafy fibroadenoma. In addition to their actual size, they have one unpleasant feature - can regenerate in ewing.

Treatment

Most oncologists recommend to delete fibroadenoma. Indication for removal of fibroadenoma is suspected breast cancer, an intensive increase of the education, the large size of the tumor (for cosmetic reasons).

Removal of fibroadenomas does not represent special complexity. Is a small incision (sectoral resection), in the tissues of the surgeon finds fibroadenoma and gently deletes it. With regard to joints, then in most cases to agree on that, that they should be cosmetic - it is quite possible. In any case, put a diagnosis alone is not necessary.
Positive necessary.Our opinion certainly useful for you. But the most important opinion - diagnosis your doctor.
You be healthy.
