Hi, I am a 40yr old woman, I have had my fair share of mamograms (breast cancer runs on both sides of my family) I recently (9 months ago) found a lump in my right breast.
I had a mamogram and ultra sound done back a while ago and they found nothing. I recently (last week) went back and had another mamogram and again they don't see any thing there, with that said I personnally feel like they made a mistake........I was not asked to remove my deodrant or my jewerly, can the lack of removing my deodrant cause a negative result?
I have had 3 different doctors feel the lump, so it's not in my mind.
I also recently noticed that when I lay down that my nipple on the left side does invert (complete collapse inward) and there is an indent in the right breast.
I have been told that because I am on hormone pills that this can be a side affect. Could that be true?
Also, I have drainage from both breast (greenish in color) I have had this for 11+ years (it's been tested and was negative again this was done maybe 2 yrs ago). Should I push the doctors to redo the test?
I have lumps all around the areola and on some of the lumps I have new black spots that I was told could just be a skin disorder (they look like moles, but just came about in the last month or so) I was not told that this could be a skin disorder(not by a doctor but by a mamogram tech).
I was recently seen in the e.r for pain on my left side (breast) I thought I was having a heart attack. They found that I wasn't (thank god) but while I was there I pointed out the newly found black spot that look like a mole (or a scratch that was healing) I was told that with no if and or buts I was to see a breast specialist. I have made an apt with my obgyn, she too felt the lump on my right side. I had the mamogram and they found nothing wrong. I am still having a pain on my left side (breast). I have to say though everytime I go to see a doctor about this I am treated so rudley, its gotton to the point that I don't want to see any of them. The doctors and tech's have done nothing but to push me off and tell me to wait (6-9 months) I have, and the lump that is on the right side is now about the size of a quarter, I was told (9 months ago) that it was just part of my breasts. I don't know what to do. I am really scared. I am going to see a specialist on monday (new years eve)They did do an x-ray and said asked if I have a bad cough because there seem to be (I think) alot of fluid in my lungs. I have not been sick yet this year (knock on wood) and when the blood test came back, well they informed me that my count was extremly high (I do realize that is my body's way of fighting off an infection) I have had other blood test performed in the past and have always had very high prolactin levels (I have also been check for a putituary tumor) recently they did (9 months ago) another set of blood tests, my hormone levels are really messed up..... I have one level that is way to high and the other that is way to low.... I laugh and say they should cancel each other out, but my doctor (who I DON'T LIKE) said it doesn't work that way.
