Ann- my biopsy came back benign- hooray! Although the radiologist still isn't happy to discharge me so I have to have a vacuum biopsy and ultrasound on my other breast. Good they are being thorough. Thanks for your support. The waiting and not knowing is the worst part for sure! X ... View more

Got my appointment through for Thursday. The letter also marked the tests as P3 R3 U5. With some calcification. From what I can find online (I know I know) it looks like it could be cancer so has anyone had these test markings before and it not turned out to be malignant?? I'm driving myself insane! Lx ...

Thank you. I feel like if it is cancer, it's likely very very early days so no doubt will be all over and done with quickly. I think as you said it's the waiting, and uncertainty which is incredibly frustrating. I just want to know! Thanks again and have a lovely evening. X ... View more

Thanks Ann. I really really appreciate you replying. I'm afraid I did google the birads score and 4 is ok (from 20-95%) but 5 is when there is a high suspicion of cancer with a 95% chance. Obviously I'm worried (I have two small daughters) but still feeling positive. X ... View more

Birads 4/5 and MRI referral

Hello- I found a lump and had an urgent referral which after an ultrasound, mammogram and biopsy I was told it's 4/5 birads. Mainly due to its irregular appearance. I've also been referred for an MRI. I was a bit shell shocked (I'm 39) so perhaps didn't ask all the questions I wanted to. Has snyin had any experience of this sort of diagnosis? I'd rather prepare for the worst then have a nice surprise than be shocked all over again! What else might it be? The radiologist said that whatever it turns out to be she'll probably recommend its 'whipped out' either way. Thank you. Add Comment Hug 0 ... View more
