I went to the GP with severe breast pain and was referred to the breast clinc where i was checked and advised that there were no lumps and to take evening primrose oil for the pain but they would send me for a mammogram as a precaution.
Yesterday I got the results of the mammogram and it reads ‘there is a possible lymph node in the right axillary tail and a small density in the left lower inner quadrant’.
I have been referred for an ultrasound now but just wanted some advice as i really don’t understand what this means, or could mean.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I would not get too worked up about the mammogram result. If you are a younger person your breasts will be quite dense and mammograms are not able to get through the density. An ultrasound will give a better picture.
I am not sure that evening primrose is the best thing to be taking until you find out what the problem is.
I am not an expert on your problem but at least my answer will shunt your message to the top for others to see.

if you have never had a mammogram this means they have nothing to compare your current one to.
these results may be normal for you but they would obviously want to check out anything that looked a bit different from what they would normally see… but that maybe is just normal for you.
try to remember that the majority of recalls are for benign changes… so fingers crossed thats what this is… but we are all here for you no matter what the result is.
much love Lulu xx
