Hi All
Just a quick question re mammogram and conversation with the radiologist. I attend yearly breast check ups due to a strong family history of breast cancer. I have a history of breast cysts and I usually have a yearly mammogram and sometimes an ultrasound. Due to covid services were put on hold and today was my first check since 2019. I had a mammogram but no ultrasound in 2019. I had both a mammogram and ultrasound in 2018 / 2017 and both times I had a cyst aspirated. Today there were 2 lumps one which I felt myself and another that the dr felt. I was sent straight for the mammogram and will be going back for an ultrasound within the next 2 weeks. I was not unduly worried as I do get cysts. However today the radiologist asked 3 times if I have had breast surgery. I said no as I haven’t. As she asked so many times I explained about the cyst aspiration in case that was what she ment. But once again she said so you had an aspiration but no surgery. I again said no no surgery. Shen then said ok but you’ll be back to us anyway in a week or two for the ultrasound. I probably should have asked her why she kept asking re surgery but I was a bit bamboozled to be honest. Of course it’s playing on my mind now. I have myself convinced that there are changes showing up since my last mammogram . Anyone any idea why she mentioned surgery or what that could be about.
tks
