Hi Amy

My BC was missed by mammogram and picked up by ultrasound. So ultrasound saved me! I think MRI are only done after a positive biopsy and then it depends on the type of BC. I really do understand your worry. You are in very good hands and the doctors and nurses are experts and know how anxious we are. The waiting is the worst thing. Some women have naturally lumpy breasts so stay positive.

I had an ultrasound twice and both came iut fine, however they never did a biopsy for either so i am worried if the ultrasound is enough. The second time i went, after the ultrasound the doctor asked me if i had got a biopsy which i didnt. That got me worried why they never did it.

However i am still with the lump and that was years ago.

Edit: the ultrasound showed it was fibroma* 

Hi 

I am not a doctor but I remember the doctor who did my ultrasound saying he could tell it was not a cyst and he did 2 biopsies to make sure. The doctors are experts and see this every day. 

I am sure your lump is harmless but if you are worried I would go back to your GP. Sometimes reading of other experiences can make us anxious. 

Thanks for your advice, my worries are not so much as they were awhile ago :)

Thank you so much for all the replies - I really appreciate it. Has set my mind at ease a bit :)

Wanted to update and let you all know that I went to the clinic today and all was well. Thanking God and my thoughts and prayers are with anyone reading this who gets bad news instead of good.

There’s still an anxious part of me that wants more tests to be sure because the lump feels so pronounced, but I was honest with the radiologist about my fears there and she reassured me that it’s very hard for ultrasound to miss a lump you can feel. She said it was just normal breast tissue that’s lumpy - not even a cyst or anything. Because it showed as nothing on the ultrasound I didn’t have the option to push for a biopsy. Feeling mostly reassured. Take care, ladies xx
