i got my mri results and they read an enhancing mass in both breasts, around the same size 0.7 × 0.5 cm. Lymph node remarkable. Im going for a biopsy soon. 44 and petrified. I looked up enhanced mass, it said 85 % malignant. The radiologist told me low suspicion of the phone. Birad 4, She said could be cystic changes ir fibroadema. I feel like she lied.

    A Birads 4 is about 80% chance of being benign. Your radiologist didn'y lie

    "I looked up the word enhanced mass and it said 85 % are malignant"

    With all the information available on the internet Google will eventually teach patients how to read their own studies and put radiologists out of a job

    is that true 85 % are malignant. My radioligist told me low suspition and 2 % for me. Also is that mass big? 0.7 × 0.5cm

    Noratara, if it is only a 2% rate of suspicion, I don't understand why they are even doing a biopsy. Normally they would not.

    That’s with the radiologist told me on the phone she said it goes from 2% to 95% and and she said I was 2% but I don’t know I was very upset so maybe she just said that. She said she thought it might be fibroadema or cystic changes. It’s OK either way I am preparing myself for the worst and praying for the best that’s all we can do I was more nervous yesterday than I am today I just have to do the biopsy and see what’s going on
