Hello,
I am new to this forum and just trying to offload some worries and share my experience at the same time. I am 41 yo, had my screening mammo last year, heterogenously dense, normal mammo but had bloody dischage from left nipple after mammo compression so advised to do diagnostic mammo and ultrasound. I held off my second mammo and ultrasound because at that time I was diagnosed with stage 1 cervical cancer but thank God it was caught early and everything was clear after hysterectomy (uterus removed but still got ovaries). Few months later, a friend was diagnosed with stage 2 bc, she is only 36. So I decided to schedule my diagnostic mammo and ultrasound. Radiologist tried to find the possible cause of the bloody discharge but did not find any, instead, he found a lump under my axilla about 1.2 cm, it was deep in the axilla that it’s not even palpable. He was very suspiscious. I agreed to do biopsy on the same day. In less than a week the result came back it was negative which was relayed to me by my physician. I was relieved and so happy. 2 days later, phycisian called me back saying they need a repeat biopsy because the radiologist called him and that it is Discordant, meaning radiologic findings did not agree with histopathologic findings. My anxiety level went up above the ceiling. I was referred to a surgeon and discussed the possible outcomes. I am scheduled to do repeat biopsy next week and MRI as well. I am keeping my faith just as I kept my faith when I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. I keep telling myself what are the chances that I belong to the 2% of 1000 patients that needed a repeat biopsy, I must be really special. I know God does not give challenges to people that they can not handle. I am still holding on to my hope that it is still negative or if it really is cancer, I am keeping my hopes up that it is early.
