Mri shows nothing, large hard palpable mass

lucyred, I had an ultrasound and a mammogram booked and I only had ultrasound completed and it was read to me right away because it didn't show anything abnormal. My breast looked dense and all white, Although the doctor could feel a mass he said that he could not see anything in imaging. Therefor a mamo was not completed. And an mri was ordered.

I'm feeling slightly upset, and lost. And confused. I thought mri will see everything?

Ugh

I apologize for not knowing how to find my previous threads..if anyone could help in this regard?

I didn’t read my mri, my np called and explained to me that the mri stated there was no mass in my breast, and that both breasts look normal.

She said she wanted to get a chest x Ray, then refer me to a specialist (breast specialist).

I thought of this; I did have a bump to my chest in the summer time, but it was no where near my lump. It was a bruise just under my collar bone. My lump is 11 o'clock position, on the inner upper side of my nipple. Who knows.

🤔

let me know, best wishes to you. I see you're only 3 years older than me as well. I hope it's nothing serious and it all gets sorted out for you!

hey there I still have the lump I think it’s slightly bigger . Mild ache lasting a few seconds and goes away still. Shoulder pain and arm tingling still present as well. And fatigue like I can’t believe but I could equate that to being too busy. Working single mom of two after all. I had an MRI done of my neck and showed some mild bulging discs which could be the shoulder pain and arm problems. In regard to my lump they are sending me to a surgeon basically who they send these unknown masses to and I’m not sure what he’s gonna do with me this appointment is in the next coming weeks I’ll keep you updated. I’ve relaxed but still think of it at times ie when’s it hurts or my breast feels super hard in that area. However I’m unsure if the lump is in the breast, I feel it’s muscularature or rib related. But who’s knows

also I never asked for a biopsy. In fact before hand I stated I’d rather not. I’m curious to see if the shoulder pain is still present afterwards though, most of all, Also curious to know what it is too

I'll ask for one, and will post results here. This has got everyone stumped. Could it be a mummified milk duct of some kind? Have you heard of this? I had mastitis in that breast about two years ago. Who knows.

Just a little update from me. I went to see the surgeon who is a breast oncologist he had a look at me and once he did his physical assessment decided to do the surgery a surgical biopsy/lumpectomy. I was contacted shortly after and Booked in for surgery two weeks later. I just had the surgery a few days ago and he came in after the operation was done and said that it wasn’t cancer. I’ll be making a follow-up appointment with my doctor soon to figure out and hear what it was, Everything went really good and I’m still curious to know what it was I’ll let you all know as well. I’m healing good it’s been three days however my breast feels kind of itchy but maybe it’s from the pain meds as they make me itchy. Also the area is a little bit red so I’m keeping an eye on it. Otherwise I feel fine.
