The same thing happened to me!I had a mammogram Dec.2019,and I was sent a letter stating no evidence of disease.In the second week of Feb.i saw a dark area under my armpit.I made an appt.for a biopsy and found out after the surgery,that I had advanced breast
I’m so sorry you went through that and just sending you so much love. I can imagine how devastating and shocking that must have been! Olivia’s story could have absolutely changed had her doctor not gone further and hoping her story can help others too!
@drbeckynd yes I was blindsided by this.When I was young,I had dense breast but I don't have dense breast now.Thank you Dr.for caring and responding.I actually am a 30.5 year survivor of stage 2b breast cancer.So I am one of the 30% who go on after being treated to develop another serious cancer later.
I empathize. I had a mammo, bone density and ultrasound in Feb 22. Everything was clear. In Dec 22 broke my arm and was diagnosed with MBC. On a positive note. Completely chemo weekly for 12 weeks. Now on tamoxifen, not nice but currently cancer markers are well within normal range. PET scan shows major improvement. Very blessed 🙌
You CAN find a lump three months after a clear mammogram. Do your self assessments. Lie on your left, your right, etc., etc. I only felt my lump because of lying curlled up on my side on the futon while trying to get relief from hip pain. Was wearing silky nightgown, with arm bent and my hand trapped under my breast, so I only ACCIDENTALLY felt the lump because my hand was trapped there to find it. At the doctors, no one could feel it. I had to put their fingers on it. But it was real. It was three different types of cancer, but fortunately it had not spread out of the site. I probably saved my own life because my hip hurt and I was trying to get comfortable.
Thank you do much for sharing this. I learned i have very dense breasts. I felt something "not right" in my R breast spring 2022. Made sppt to see my primary Dr. He suggested a mammogram. July, results came back, i was told clear & i was good to go. I thought ok, my tisdue is just weird. But it was still srnsitive & my intuition was telling me it wasn't ok. I called to see my Dr again because i was concerned. He agreed, so had me make an appt for 3D Mammogram & ultrasound. Sept - mammogram done & I was told again, everything looked fine & I could go. I was told by the tech the Radiologist said i didn't need the ultrasound. What??? By now i feel a lump, so i ask the tech, what about the lump? She responds, have you talked to your Dr about that? Oh my Lord, you can't make this stuff up! This place made me feel like i was going crazy in the head! This place even sent me a letter stating everything was fine & to schedule my next mammogram in a year. I cannot imagine what would have happened had i not done anything further & waited another year! So finally, DEC 2022, I was able to get the ultrasound! That radiologist was very concerned & said he had wished the previous radiologist did the ultrasound 😞 The biopsy 18 days later revealed Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, Grade 3. Stage 2, but Petscan 2 months later showed Stage 3 or 4 (per my Oncologist). Unbelievable! I feel lucky to be alive!
Thank you so much for sharing!! I’m so sorry you went through that and so glad you kept pushing! I always say you know your body best so good on you for being a loud advocate for yourself! Wishing you continued health and abundance.❤️
For me here in morocco it was the opposite I just had a visit to my gynaecologist to check my perimenopause symptoms he checked my uterus with an ultrasound he had in office, checked my breast with just hands but couldn’t feel anything but still asked for a mammogram and ultrasound, so I went for them 3 days after and 2 days later had the results showing a suspicious lump of 7mm then 2 days later had an ultrasound guided biopsy which took 2 weeks to show a lump with calcification then he asked for immunohisthemic markers which showed breast cancer oestrogen and progesterone positive and hers2 negative with ki 67 10% so now I have to see the oncologist Friday to discuss the treatment and I still don’t feel any lump or change in my breast, and I will be the first person in my whole family with cancer and I don’t know what to think my mum is 84 never had a mammogram or anything, my sister is 65 and same never had any also so I don’t know what to think am I lucky cause I found out before it’s too late or I may have lived with a very slow growing cancer that was there for ten years and never worry about of course I am gonna do the lumpectomy now that I know but the worries about recurrence are there even though my doctor is really nice and told me there will be no recurrence and I shouldn’t worry so I hope we finish with this soon and hope you never worry about it either and don’t forget that most breast cancer never reoccur
@@ummtaimann6819 thank you for sharing and I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I can imagine how stressful it may be but prayers and love your way!❤️
God bless you, that is a just a horror story. Your case makes me feel better about my own which was minimal compared to yours. (I discovered a lump two months after my mammogram, but they followed up normally when I reported it.)
Hi, I'm an Italian student who has just finished school. It was supposed to be the best summer ever, but instead it was the worst in my entire life. My father has a serious health problem, my mother was diagnosed with G3 microinvasive DCIS. The mammograms identified 8mm microcalcifications that were not there the previous year. There are no nodules, normal sized lymph nodes. However, for years my mother has reported pain in the opposite breast, which appears to be clean. When she made the first visit they asked the 7 questions in the video. There is no relation, except to a distant cousin of her mother (cousin of my grandma) who died of uterine/ovarian cancer. They didn't do any MRI on her. At the moment she has had a "lumpectomy" (a term that does not exist here, the reports say quadrantectomy + sentinel lymph node biopsy) and they have told her that she will only have radiotherapy. But we are waiting for the sentinel lymph node biopsy. I'm very worried, mum always gets checked, in theory the risk discussed in the video is very low. She has always had a diet that I realized is truly anti-tumor (she is used to eating healthy and she used to swim cause my grandparents died from heart problems). I'm worried because there isn't a palpable lump, but it's also true that mom has two large breasts which the reports describe as having dense tissue, so its difficult to find a lump. I think they did a lumpectomy and not a quadrantectomy because the breast size is pretty much the same as before. I wanted to ask, in the risk assessment they also asked "how many doses of Pfizer you have done" (4 years ago). Could this be relevant? Because I'm researching how the mRNA vaccine works and understanding how it interacts with immune system defense mechanisms. I am curious to know more about vaccine-induced reverse transcription and how it is involved in possible errors in cell replication. However, I don't know if it's relevant about genes/risk, it's incredible the resemblance between my mother when she was young and Olivia Munn. I remember when i saw her first time in Marvel movies i considered the character a clone. Anyways my mum is the best person i know, not only as a son view. She is hardworking, honest, tender and generous woman. She has the most beautiful ways you can look for in a human being. I would die if I lost her, I will do everything necessary to advise her well. Thanks for the videos.
Dec.2019 my mammogram came out normal.In the 3rd week of Feb.2020 i saw a dark area underneath my armpit.Biopsy was done in March 20,stage 3 breast cancer which is very serious.
I started feeling lumps around 36 years old, went in and had a mammogram and biopsy of the area in question. All came back clear. I had extremely dense breast tissue. So from there on out it was a yearly mammogram. I had pain in my right breast (with the lumps). The pain would come and go. Multiple lumps showed on my scans. I had a stereo, MRI's, MRI guided biopsy, one year alone when I was 42 i had at least 6 different types of scans, ALL came back clear. Finally my breast surgeon said enough, lets go in and do a lumpectomy on the largest mass in question, which bear in mind came back clear after the biopsy. So i had the surgery and 2 days later she called me and said it was cancer. Un-fucking real! I was lucky, stage 1 invasive ductal carcinoma, all margins clear, no node involvement. unfortunately i am yriple negative. I chose double mastectomy with reconstruction because i honestly couldn't have kept my breasts and trusted another scan for as long as i live
@@cassiegreenfield4336 thank you for sharing! I can imagine just how shocking that must have been but soo glad they found it when they did! Sending you so much love!❤️
I had brest cancer 2016. Lumpectomy and radiation.All clear til 2022. My cat fell off my headboard and landed on my chest. 😮It was so painful. I grabbed the area and felt a lump. I kept saying it is scar tissue but knew it was not. I told my oncologist who I had seen 9 months before. Good mamogram and breast exam. It was not a recurrence but a totally different second cancer in the same breast. I had a mastectomy and 3 months later a second surgery for debridement to area not healing due to damage from the radiation. I should have done the mastectomy in the beginning.
Unfortunately most people don’t have access to all this testing. Most people with a clear mammogram will just be sent on their way and told come back next year.
That sounds what I have done mammogram and every other year mri. FYI before people go running asking for mri they usually only do that 1 if you score high on breast cancer assement and have highly dense breast tissue. I'm talkinbfor women who are 40 plus dnt know for younger. I has my first mammogram at 35 dt ly mom diagnosed at 45 so they go 10 years younger old I did they found 2 areas 1 on each breast but luckily 1 was nothing on biopsy the other stage early stage and just lumpectomy and that's it I was given the option of radiation but choose to forgo dt early stage and the low grade cells glad I did now that's what they recommend and I'm 19 years out and clean have had scares big time on other breast but fingers cross still good
My cousin's lump did not show up on her mammogram. But she kept insisting to her doctor that there was a lump there so thankfully her doctor listened to her and sent her for an ultrasound too. That's where they saw the lump. But her mammogram came back clear while she had a cancerous lump in her boob.
Ok. No one anywhere preaches that a mammogram alone is all you need to detect cancer. There is also self breast exam as well as MRI’s. No one anywhere suggests that mammograms are 100 percent effective. They tell you that they see no evidence of cancer, meaning there is nothing glaringly obvious. If you’re young when you have a mammogram most often it will be said in the letter that you have dense breast tissue. You should always work with your physician to determine if you feel that the additional MRI would be useful in your case. Mammos are the standard gold tool to detect breast cancer. It is a tool only and every tool has its limitations.
@@thort531I'm 72 and have dense breasts. Every other time I go for mammogram, I'm told I need another mammogram in a few months, OR a breast biopsy! Not an MRI. that'd make toomuch sense, lol, and mammograms make no sense. Tired of needless radiation and biopsies for no reason. After age 74, American College of Radioogists say no more mammograms will be needed (unless symptoms, of course, which I've never had.) I cannot wait!!😊
I wish there’s a single test that can detect anything that’s wrong with your body without having to perform multiple different tests. AI this and that these days, come on why can’t someone make a device that can scan the whole human body and find any cancer, genetic abnormalities, any disease or health problems? That is to me more crucial than a self driving car…. Say you just walk in like an x ray booth at the airport, and then voila, result comes out.
Too many exams; life is too short. If I am going to die of breast cancer, then, let it be. I am 57 years old and I am not going to set my life around my breasts. I am going to have my third diagnostic mammogram in a month, and that is all I am going to have done that day. No ultrasound, no biopsy, not anything else. My life is something more than mammograms.
I respect that everyone has their own opinions and choices that resonate with them. The one thing we can definitely agree on is life is indeed short. ❤️
@@RachelHarder-rp8io Who says that I am having active breast cancer? Do you know what a Diagnostic mamogram is? I will have my third diagnostic mamogram in the last 8 years. They always find a new something in the screening mamogram; therefore, I have to go back for a screening mamogram + ultrasound. I know what they are going to say once they are finished billing the insurance: oh, you are fine, but you need to comeback in 6 months for another diagnostic mamogram. Breast cancer centers are just making money; they don't care about the patients.
