noticed both breast becoming hard and hurting. Went to GP, he sent me for a ultrasound. Radiologist said nothing to worry about and come back in 6 months to see if there was any changes. When the back after 6 months and after noticing it getting much worse


Radiologist was very consurned and sent me for a mammogram. Not calcification, but extremely dense tissue was noted. Still worried she attempted a core needle biopsy, which was unsuccessful due to the density. She referred me to a surgeon for a surgical biopsy


Biopsy done, but no results from surgeon yet, only a call from my GP saying they found inflammation and I should speed to my surgeon about it


My appointment will only be next year and I'm very curious about what it means


I do not have any infection symptoms

What could it be?

Any thought will be appreciated a great dea

    Hi! Did you find out what was going on? I've been having weird breast issues for the past 6 months and literally been to the best hospitals in the U.S. (Cleveland Clinic + MD Anderson) and nobody knows what is going on, so reaching out to people here to see if there are some similiarities.

    There are some benign breast conditions associated with inflammaion, but nothing else, such as lymphocytic mastopathy or diabetic mastopathy. Look them over. They are rare so not many docs are familiar with them.
