Another newbie here. With mamo and US. So far what I know is birad 5, nipple inversion happening, minor stippling of the skin with a mass 2.3.. I have a core biopsy in a little over a week. So while I'm trying to keep the voices in my head quiet I'm wondering how did your partners feel? My guy is a wait and see. He knows nothing's about breast cancer so I'm trying hard to not have constant booby talk. Lol. I don't think he realizes what could potentially lie a head. Any advice?

    It sounds like your boyfriend is being level headed. I was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma in March. I had a lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy April 7th. Be prepared to have a series of tests. CT, MRI, Bone Scan and seed localization. You will be a busy. If available you should purchase frequent parking pass. You should see if you can join a support group with social worker specializing in breast cancer. Very helpful to reduce anxiety. I'm still waiting for pathology for my treatment plan

    Good luck

    thank you for reaching out. Sorry your going through it. The place I went has a nurse coordinator and looks like she will be a big help in getting started. Ive reasearched a ton so hopefully I will understand the information as it comes. I think at this point i just need to learn to be patient and wait for the results as they come. Sending good vibes your w

    We all say try to stay off of Dr. Google. This has the best information. It does help to know what a lot of the terms mean if you have read them in here

    But, remember, not all Birad 5s turn out to be cancer. Hopefully, you will be one of the lucky ones

    Good morning Muki, I to received Birad 5 report - I am getting a core needle biopsy on Wed. I found that researching and obtaining information was very helpful to me. Understanding all my options and knowing all the terminology was helpful. My hubby has been really quiet about it - and same as you I am trying not to overwhelm him with the boobie talk. I have not told my sisters (our mom had BC) - I'm waiting to wait for my biopsy results before I start speaking to my loved ones. I don't want to freak anyone out - and I don't need the extra stress.

    Hope you are set with your follow up appointments. Stay in touch.

    Hi and thanks for sharing back. No other appt except for biopsy. I'm not stressing as much as I was. At this point just waiting too see what comes back. My full mamo and us results will post tomorrow although not sure what more I will learn from them. I completely understand not sharing with your family since there is history there. Good luck wishing you all the best. I will def follow up with results

    so as I'm still waiting and not patiently I might add, I'm having pain more frequently. Not where the mass is but to the side of it and then these crazy electrical like pains in my sad disappearing nipple. Not continuous but def increasing in frequency. Did anyone else have this? At first I thought I was just noticing because I'm more aware of that area but at this point it's way more than that. I was driving yesterday and had to pull over for a few until it passed. I don't know ithis pain is a good thing or not.

    Your thoughts and experiences are appreciated

    Oh, Mucki, I'm so sorry that it didn't turn out to be benign. You'll have some busy days ahead, getting your treatment plan in place but it sounds like you've done your research so you'll know what to expect.

    My "rock" told me from the beginning that he would never bring the subject up - he didn't want to upset me if I wasn't thinking about it. Ha! As if I wasn't already thinking about it every waking moment. For the most part he's been very supportive but I wish he'd be more in tune with my emotions. I guess guys just aren't very emotional.

    Best of luck to you. Wishing you an easy surgery and quick recovery.
