    Hi everyone

    In 2010 I had a lumpectomy and the results where boAtypical ductal and Atypical lobular hyperplasia I have had imaging every 6 months but graduated to yearly 2 years ago. Last week I had my yearly mammogram and ultrasound and where I had the lumpectomy the ultrasound report says "shows some dense fibroglandular tissue with cystic change that has increased" ( as compared with last years scan ) I'm so very confused. I am having a biopsy this Thursday. Does anyone have any idea what the changes mean or has anyone had a similar experience?

    Thank you

    Angela

    Basically, you have scar tissue and dense breasts. They are going to make sure nothing is going on. I was mammogrammed and ultrasound 4 times in one day for my 6th month followup after radiation. Inside my breast with the lumpectomy, I saw 7 clips in one small area. That small area has encapsulated around the clips and was fine. The other breast was dense and we kept smoothing out the skin and tissue for a clear result. Did you have ER/PR positive bc?
