I found a lump in December and went to gp in January. I was referred to the breast clinic and saw a dr at the end of feb, he felt lump and thought probably fibrous mass but referred me for an ultra sound. I had the ultrasound and then was later referred for a mammogram.
On these results the dr said I should have a biopsy but the lump would have to come out regardless. I went for biopsy today only to find out that I have some sort of breast infection. I had another ultrasound and mammogram but dr said he couldn’t really see lump because of the liquid. He took a sample of the pus and sent it off for analysis. I am now being sent for an mri scan.
Is it possible that I have two things going on at the same time, is it possible for mastitis to hang around since December with no real symptoms, except for feeling a bit groggy and swollen this weekend?
On my notes I read [first lot] ultrasound birads1 and mammogram birads 4, How can it be so different?
Sorry i’m ranting, this has been going on for so long that I feel like I am on a rollercoaster. Any advice appreciated, thanks.
