I had a mammo in march and it was clear. I've had pain in the left breast for about a month. I didn't feel any lumps, but i went to my Dr this week just to be sure. He found a lump behind the nipple. I also felt it. He ordered an ultra sound which came back normal. I am waiting for the official results to be sent to him. In the meantime, i definitely have something in there that's causing pain. I have a history of breast cancer in my family, my mom and sister. I'm told that the next step is a diagnostic mammo. Does this sound right?

I had an ultrasound Tues and called for my results yesterday was told the Dr has requested to go over your results with you on Friday. I myself seen the ultrasound and pretty sure its normal however its best to wait for the experts to tell me..but I also have a lump in my left breast causing throbbing pain and a burning sensation to the left breast and pins and needles feeling in my nipple sometimes the pain goes into my armpit and down my left arm.. It doesn't follow my cycle. The lump has been there for 4 months now and my left nipple has been inverting occasionally.. I also have a family history of cancer in general.. Cousin's aunts uncles grandma and my dad.. So far I'm the only one out of my siblings to have cancer scares!! Drs thought I had ovarian cancer about 2 years ago lost my left ovary and tube last year.. Praying your results are negative without the loss of organs oand such!! But I'm thinking yes they do order more testing because sometimes you can see something in one picture/test that the other missed..

Thanks for your feedback Worried31female. I'm praying for good results for you also. I hate the waiting but there's nothing else we can do. Hang in there. ....

So my fear and anxiety took control when my Dr told me at my apt for my mole biopsys that my breast lump isn't normal and on that braid ?? Scale (not sure if that's the name) anyways if a 1 is no possible cancer and a 5 is cancer she gives me a 3/4 she wanted to do the lumpectomy yesterday and I was willing but the more I thought the more I didn't want to know so I cancelled it!! My gut says something is wrong and I'm terrified I'm right!! So anyways the Dr called me three times on Tues (I missed her calls because I was at work) and she called me again yesterday stated she strongly recommend the lumpectomy and biopsy asap if not by her to get a second opinion asap.. She is very concerned I told her my fears and she is having me and my husband come in to explain alternative options and explain the risks I'm taking by putting this off.. Apparently it might be something bad so I greatly appreciate your prayers.. And again you are in mine..

Hi, prayers going up for both of you that your tests will be benign.

However, Worried31female, please realize that doing nothing/not knowing will not make it go away. You owe it to yourself and DH to at least get the second (and if you want third) opinion and go from there. Waiting does not resolve and only allows the pendulum to swing the other way and make you worry if you don't do anything.

This sounds corny..I'm sorry...

But your comment brought tears to my eyes..that's exactly what I'm doing.. I figure if I ignore it or dnt find out then I'm fine.. I'm so very scared I know the odds are for me but at the same time the Dr and my family ( I recently told them) all say the odds are against me... I have an apt today to discuss other options/test but most likely schedule a biopsy...

Thank you
