Hello
I’ve been asked by Lucy BCN to repost in this section - sorry for any duplication.
I asked the ultrasonographer to check my other breast yesterday when having a scan on the left breast, to check postoperative changes, which thankfully were benign.
It seems that since having a clear MRI in November 2023, a new lump has developed in my right breast. Apparently it is c. 1 cm, and has been categorised as indeterminate/U3, so it has had to be biopsied.
I am grateful that it has been found but am now wondering what on earth it could be. Can benign changes happen in under a year?
Thank you

Hello Amaris 34
Thank you for your post.
It’s normal to be concerned when you get a new lump and may be worried about the possibility of cancer.
We are unable to comment specifically on the changes in your breast. However, changes in the breast can happen at any time even though it seems a short time since your MRI was clear.
Your ultrasound result has been categorised as indeterminate/U3 which means it is probably benign, but they can only confirm this by doing a biopsy and looking at the cells more closely.
Having already had a breast cancer diagnosis, it’s understandable if you are feeling stressed and anxious. If you are finding it difficult, you might want to talk to someone about how you are feeling. You could speak to your breast care nurse or you could call our helpline if you would like to talk this through or have any further questions.
