BI RAD Category 4C

Possum06 - you're so young to be dealing with this. The waiting on pathology is very stressful. Everything around bc feels like hurry up & wait. My pathology stated BiRad 4C, which I didn't receive until after the biopsy. With nothing showing on your ultrasound I'm hoping for you that they were wrong on the 4C. I know it's hard but try to think positive, and keep us posted.

hi hun, I went through this ordeal of birads 4 assessment, lumpectomy, waiting for histology report and the sort in the month of last July (2018), mine was a spiculated (synonym of BC) mass near the chest wall, the initial radiologist is even now in awe that such a finding in screening came out to be benign (apocrine metaplasia, common hyperplasia, etc) and my follow up postoperative ultrasound 4 months later showed no suspicious findings but, of course, I'll be closely monitored for the rest of my life due to my dense breasts and all their postmenopausal fibrocystic changes, something I actually consider being my profit from all my summer nightmare in MRI rooms and hospital wards, to undergo regular follow up imaging screenings that is...  What I did wrong in this adventure of mine was to take for granted that my lump was cancerous based on the imaging which resulted to me going sleepless and underfed (I honestly lost my appetite...) for weeks, a real pack of nerves...  Now that I know better I can fathom the statistics that only 2 out of 10 imaging findings turn out to be malignant, and having said all the above, I'm sending benign wishes your way and please keep your cool while waiting for your results!

DCIS is usually listed as Stage "0" and some refer to it as pre cancer. There is a DCIS forum that has a lot of information on it. Check it out. Best wishes to you!
