DX.ed with ALH back in 2009, now dealing a pulling sensation

Thanks Ladies for your reply😀

When I was reading up on ALH and the typical timeframe in which it "might" convert into something a little further along the neoplasm line......I came across a paper with radiology findings (the MRI pictures and mammogram shots) describing how some of the breast tissue was quite literally "pulling away"from the chest wall towards the nipple area. I cannot find it to post it here....my computer had technical problems and I had to delete my recent history to deal with the issue.

We all know( sadly...😣) that the inverted nipple "can" be a sign of breast neoplasm...and some women mention a "pulling feeling with the nipple inversion?

I think the poster here "Leaf" mentioned something about it in one of her posts? I believe she has LCIS

Thanks Leaf, for this reply as well as the PM....I did not have the time to reply prior to this.

My most recent MRI guided core biopsy was on my left breast in August of this year( 2016) among the benign findings of that breast was a Hemioanginoma. Another "odd" finding for me, as I had a large 9cm Phyllodes removed from my right breast in 2009. Both unusual growths were benign, thankfully, but it was mentioned that my breasts like to grow sarcoma type "items"😡 By my Hemotologist... He is quite the little character, isn't he? He predicted the core biopsy would find this sort of thing, when I shared this with the radiologist this prior to the biopsy, she did not believe this to be the case... Plus one for the Hemotologist/ MO.

It should be noted that I never had any unusual sensations in my right breast with the Phyllodes, nor did I have any unusual sensations with my left breast with the Hemioanginoma.

Back in 2009, on the deepest plane/ slice of the Phyllodes, there was found 3mm ALH. In 2010, a stereotactic biopsy was preformed on that same right breast due to a moderate uptake of MRI contrast in the margin/ scar area of the removed Phyllodes. Findings were the typical benign issues and a small area 1.5mm of ALH. They did not go back in to excise the area, as they felt that they removed it with all of the tissue they took during that series of biopsies. I actually lost about half a cup size in that breast. My MO at MDA shared with me that she had never seen a Phyllodes tumor without some ALH findings.

This is the same ( right )breast that is having the pulling/ tightness sensation currently. Although weight lifting exercises that effect the Pec. Muscles can produce weird sensations in that breast, the sensations are always the same, and they have never been like this. Never had this sort of pain/sensation in either breast, ever......that's why I found it to be quite unusual. Nothing has changed in my weight routine in quite some time.

I saw my BS last week, and if this strange sensation does not resolve in 6-8 weeks, we will re-visit the issue. Of note, when he reviewed the MRI slides with me, nothing has really changed over the last few years, but there was a extreme increase in uptake of the contrast in the same areas that were found to be benign in the past studies.

I deal with a co- morbidity that can effect the way in which my body presents with disease, as I have Common Variable Immune Deficiency. I am infusing Hizentra, sub-Q, weekly. I have had many, many cases of pneumonia that do not "present" in the normal manner due to this....no fever, but my lung x-ray shows the tale. So one always has to consider a unusual presentation of disease in someone like me. Due Diligence my middle name🤔😎

If I have repeated myself here, as I am on my iPhone, and cannot seewhat I posted previously....sorry!
