BiRad 5 how is this happening!?

I'm sorry you are here. . Yes, my radiologist after my diagnostic mammo told me to be prepared for it to be cancer. I didn't want to hear that. But these radiologists have often been doing this a long time and know what they see. I even tried to convince the radiologist at my biopsy that it was nothing. She gave me a very sad pathetic look like she's heard that before. In the end, having the radiologists tell me they were all but completely certain it was cancer helped cushion it a bit when the biopsy results came back.

Just don't start googling anything until you know what you are dealing with. I did and freaked myself out. These is always the chance they are wrong and it will be b9.

Keep us posted.

I am sorry that you are here.

I am new too. Similar to you. 32. No family history.

My radiologist told me that my mammogram and ultrasound were moderately concerning. But looking at my electronic chart afterwards I saw the Bi-Rad 5 and realized it was not good.

Do you have someone going to the biopsy with you? Hopefully you will get your results soon afterwards.

Noan....i was also birad 5 and before the stereotactic biopsy they diagnosed me the day of the mammogram which was July 29th of this year.

you still have that 3% chance being B9

This is my second primary diagnosis after 10 years........

I will be thinking of you.

Just remember they can say 4 days but you have all the right to call them for your results before that.

Mine was Thursday. I had the mammogram and ultrasound Wednesday afternoon. I was expecting just to hear it was a cyst that I was feeling, so coming in the next morning was kinda surprising and caught me off-guard. Then the surgeon's office called that afternoon to schedule the visit the following week. And by schedule it was "we'll see you at 3:45 on Wednesday."

I really wasn't expecting to get my results from the biopsy so soon. I really thought it would be Tuesday when I heard. But yesterday afternoon I got the phone call confirming what I suspected. It will be another week before the in-depth results are in. But at least I know.

Skittlegirl, welcome to this bad club. It's funny, how I found BCO was the night before I started chemo. I really was terrified, and didn't know if I would even make it to my appointment! Extremely scared. But the women here welcomed me, and talked me down and through it.. I know it might not seem like it now, but one day, YOU will be the one to calm another's fears here, and will kind of feel like a hero of sorts, making it through. Your perceptions of what it is like now, and how it will become after treatment, is a world apart, and yes, this IS doable. Hugs to both you and NoAngel.

Sorry you guys have to find your way here, but since you have, let me tell you, this is a great place. I was diagnosed around your age, 25 yrs ago... so no google no net no nuthin' actually everybody was telling me at the time that it was nothing given age, family history etc...but it turned out to be cancer. It's good that you checked it out and didn't ignore it, and you're taking care of stuff. What Tomboy says is true, there are a lot of us here who have gone through the same stuff, and when you both know what the deal is, you will find plenty of people here who can give you advice and share their experiences with you. Anything you need you will be able to find someone here who has been there before you and can give you their wisdom. All you need to do is ask, this is a welcoming and safe space. I wish I'd had it 25 years ago, but I'm grateful we have it now
