Odd Breast Pain

Posted by BrendaK, February 05, 2008 at 11:00 AM by BrendaK
Hi, all. For the past few months, I've been having odd pains in my left breast. They're more noticeable nearest my armpit, but sometimes seem to be in the shoulder, too. I am self-testing often and don't feel any lumps. I know I should schedule an appointment, but my annual isn't due for three months.

Breast Nodule

Posted by Anonymous, February 05, 2008 at 10:55 AM by Anonymous
I am 37 yrs old and was found to have a breast nodule in my right breast. It was a suspected cyst but after fine needle aspiration, it was found not to be a cyst, so cells were sent for biopsy. The dr. kept telling me it looked very benign but just being cautious. What are my odds ?

A Second Mammogram

When a doctor wants to do a second mammogram, is that serious? Is this just precautionary? Did they find something? Did the radiologist mess up the reading?

What Can a Scan Do?

Posted by White Egret, February 05, 2008 at 10:00 AM by White Egret
If you have a lump in your breast, will a scan tell me if it's cancerous? Just wondering how far to go with my doctors.
