Biopsy Results and Anxiety

Hi Sar  I completely get where you are coming from.  I have some breast lymphoedema and my whole breast area is lumpy and bumpy. I have no idea when I self exam if  I am feeling new lumps or old ones.  I do my best and I get anything that really feels different checked out but I really rely on my annual mammogram.  I do think it's always going to be a worry to be honest. Maybe others here in the group will have some ideas. Best wishes 

Hi, thank you for your message. I think that's all I can do.  I was just wondering if anyone maybe had a yearly ultrasound on their mastectomy scar or something that I could maybe ask for. Thank you x

So sorry to read about the biopsies - must have been frightening.
Do you still have appointments with the breast team or can you ask for one? 
I was diagnosed in Oct 2024 and at my last appt raised concerns about area now being very lumpy (I also have some breast lymphoedema) and only having annual mammogram. I have dense breast tissue and what was called high burden of disease in spite of a mammogram only 17 months prior to diagnosis. The consultant I saw was very supportive and put forward a recommendation for regular MRI screening. There was also a request to help with how to examine (not heard back on that). He said ultrasound was only useful if they were targeting a specific point of concern. X 

Hi thank you for your reply. I will speak to my nurse and see if I can have annual checks on the mastectomy scar also as well as the normal mammogram on the other side. Thank you so much x
