I went in because I had a nipple discharge, I too am in the waiting phase. Surgery is scheduled for the 26th on this month. Did they give you radiology report? I'm in the US (Portland, OR) and I read my report. It was graded a 4A, which means it's less than a 10% chance of cancer, but more than 1%. That was reassuring. Though now I have a new issue with that same breast, hopefully it's all good. Fingers crossed for you!

Thanks Jan! The surgeon's nurse called me back yesterday and she said to massage the area in the shower with warm water and if it's still "lumpy" on Monday to call them and they will have me come back in. I'm really stressed about this. Up until now, it was a distant chance that the small mass was malignant. But with this, it has me really worried. Also, I'd describe my lumps the exact same way you did. More like mounds in the areola, painless and discolored. I had my mammogram/ultrasound/ductogram, Oct 23rd, so in that exam this wasn't there. My surgical consult was on Monday, and honestly I didn't even look at my breast after my shower. I usually have a towel on and get dressed in my bedroom.

I would get the MRI, it will take some of the guess work out. You may not need the surgery or it may confirm that its the best route. Good luck.

New here, hi! I have small intraductal mass. Not seen in a mammogram or ultrasound. They found it when they did a ductogram (my ultrasound showed a dilated duct). I met with a surgeon and will need to have a ductal excision to biopsy the mass. All indications point to benign. I'm scheduled for Nov 26th. I'm 44. However, today, I noticed 3 lumps on my areola and my nipple was indented. This on the same breast but opposite side of where the duct mass is. This is new. I have never seen this. My breast has been hurting on the side where the mass is, almost like a burning pain. On the lumpy side there is no pain, no hardness, squishy feeling (squishier than the rest of my breast). I am now totally freaking out. I'm not sure if I need advice or comfort.... google has not been my friend today.

Have you had an ultrasound or ductogram? I have small intraductal mass (not sure what it is yet) that wasn't seen on a mammogram or ultrasound, but the ultrasound showed dilation, so they did a ductogram and saw it there.
