Abnormal mammo other side aftr cancer/treatment-"seeing changes"

Kristin,

I'm 2 1/2 years out and went on May 8th for my 6 mo check up. Originally I had a lumpectomy with re-excission on my left side and reduction on the right.  I've gone every 6 months for left side and yearly for right.   After doing many more than normal amount of views they can back and told me that they saw something on each side.  They immediately did an ultrasound on the right and said I needed a biopsy on both sides.  I wouldn't leave the facility until they had scheduled the biopsies.  I went this past Tuesday for an ultrasound guided needle core biopsy on the left and a stereotactic needle biopsy on the right.  After much trying the doctor said I would require the stereotactic biopsies on both sides.  I am still waiting for the results.  I have an appointment on the 24th with my breast surgeon.  I too am very converned.  The waiting is by far the worst.  

I hope that your results come back good.  I'm hoping for the same thing, but what are the chances of 2 false alarms.  We can go thru this together.  Post as soon as you find out.  I'll do the same.  Hopefully we'll be able to share good news.  Hugs,  Leslie 

Just wanted to post and say that I dodged the buttet on both sides.  The findings on the left side turned out to be calcifications and scar tissue.  The nodule on the right side is benign fibrosis with tramatic fat necrosis.  All I wanted to hear was the B-9 term used.  Yes,  now it's mamos every 6 months for both sides.  That's an easy price to pay.  Hope your results are as good as mine Kristin.  Post when you get word.  Any ladies out there waiting for results may they all be B-9.  Hugs and prayers,  Leslie

I'm extremely fortunate that the hospital where I go they have you wait for the results before you leave.  They do this for breast cancer people.  They know that we don't like waiting.  They also have you right there in case more studies are needed or if an ultra sound needs to be done, they can do it immediately.  I does take longer, but you leave with an answer.  Hope you receive good results soon midnight132.  Will await your post.  Hugs to all, Leslie

This is encouraging for me to read.  I just finished chemo in Feb and radiation in the end of April followed by a hysterectomy/ooph 3 weeks ago.  When I went back to my gyn for the 2 week follow up, he checked the area I had the masectomy and the other breast. 

I am suppose to go back in Aug to the breast cancer surgeon and he called to have it moved up sooner.  He said he felt something and this was a precaution.  Not what I expected to hear.  Hopefully, it will turn out to be nothing to be concerned about.

I hope yours is going well Kristin.
