Sorry, i meant it wasnt there on the ultrasound last month, not last year. Anyway I managed to actually get hold of the radiologist’s reports and wow, do I have lumpy breasts.
Long story short there are 2 smooth nodules on the left breast, as well as another 2 nodules on the right breast which seem similar to the ones on the left, all around 4mm. And I have asymmetric density in my right breast so wants me back as a precaution to see that. And with the nodules his assessment was “benign appearing” nodules, and RADS 3 - probably fibroadenomas - see me again in 6 months.
I guess both my breasts are unhealthy! I did do some googling though and fibroadenomas seem receptive to hormones and since my hormones are up and down like crazy (6 months no period, then a period in October, then nothing, and now I am pretty sure I am coming on again in a couple weeks (dont ask about discharge texture lol) then I am blaming menopause for this too.
I have always had fluid filled cysts but these arent those. In fact whats weird is my “normal” fluid filled cysts are gone, got these new ones instead. Wonder if I always had them but the diagnosis has changed, or if they changed, or if they went away and these new ones appeared….
I am trying not to worry. The surgeons comment worries me a bit @CKLD but I am trying to remember Scrubs where the surgeon’s were portrayed as slice and dice and not specialists in this lol
