So after going to the hospital this morning to find out what my appointment is for, I’ve received a letter today with a full review of the appointment I had.

It says ‘on inspection there is flattening of the contour of the left breast at 7 o’ clock position with mild thickening of the tissues. No lumps could be felt. Bilateral mammograms have shown there are scattered areas fibroglandular density  M2 Right, M2 Left. Ultrasound on left breast in area of concern reveals normal appearances. However, given this clinical concern in her left breast I will see her back in clinic in 6 weeks time’.

Does anybody know if mild skin thickening can be normal or what ‘scattered areas fibroglandular density’ actually means, or M2 Right and M2 Left?

I am trying my hardest with keeping off Google after the state I got myself j to previously.

Thank you for any information,

fibroglandular Is just breast tissue which is fatty/lumpy and very common, especially in younger woman. I also have an area on my left breast which they described as thickening/dense and I had to have an ultra sound scan and it’s fine. It’s not cancer. however because it’s dense tissue, which is naturally lumpy it can make it harder to spot cancerous changes, especially with a mammogram, they tend to do an ultra sound, which is effective. They told me my breasts will prob change when I’m older and be less dense. So they must just be been thorough and keeping an eye on you. I wish mine had put me down for another scan, as a follow up, as would help with my anxiety.  Xx

Also m1 and m2 just means normal/benign I believe xx
