Worried

Do you have a copy of the radiology report? What does it say? A Bi-Rads 2 isn’t even “iffy.”

Yeah, seeing absolutely nothing when you feel a lump is discordant, although sometimes women are feeling rib edges or normal denser breast tissue. Did your GP feel it too? I think you will need the consult. I would be inclined to request that the breast surgeon send me for an MRI to hopefully clear things up. Can’t biopsy at this point when there isn’t anything to target by either mammogram or ultrasound. Your other choice would be to requestrepeat imaging in six months.

I don't think Covid will be less of a worry in 6 months and might be worse so although I would be tempted to wait the year I think keeping the appointment makes sense. Good luck and be careful with covid protocols.

jonsgirl, mine was missed by both mammo And mri, but that was a failing of the radiologist, not the imaging. The tumor was clearly there on mri two years before I found it. The response I got when I leaned over two years later and pointed at the completely obvious spot on the MRI that was on screen for comparison was “In retrospect should we have biopsied that? Probably but look at all this other stuff going on in the other breast.“ If I could do it over, I'd not have taken the next years MRI so cavalierly (missed it because I was too busy, forgot, and was tired of screening, and they weren't watching anything, and by then breast MRI for me was just routine). Finally, when the radiologist told me 3d would find too much and “if we start biopsying you now we will never quit," I would have immediately gone elsewhere or insisted he biopsy away. I was blinded by his superior credentials and Guru like status in the BC Community. Hindsight. I say that to say, don’t take no for an answer if you are concerned.

Ducky, I agree. I'd insist on MRI to clear it up.

I put off lot of doc appointments for the first 7 months of the year, but I agree - there won't be much difference next year. I think you should see the BS.

Just to let you know that I've found my doctors AND the hospitals to be absolutely the safest places I could go. Everyone wears masks, every office sanitizes, every place takes temperatures and gives you a color coded wrist band for the day, all locations have chairs at a distance. I felt much safer than the grocery store where people sometimes don't wear mask at all and when they do - the masks might be below their noses or around their necks. Not to mention that most grocery stores here are no longer sanitizing baskets.

kmom57,

My radiologist missed my cancer on the biopsy!!! It was a bi rads 4. Biopsy said not cancer, but 6 months later, it was cancer and the biopsy clip was 2 centimeter away. 😢it was also gone at a breadt center!

ducky:

You never updated us. How are things going??
