So If they never graded my 4 is it just 4a? I should be getting my results today sometime though! ❤ mine was interesting as it seems like infection and is hyperechoic but also have dilated ducts with debris. Only breastfed my daughter one month and she just turned two! Was on antibiotics but still having pain. Good luck to others out there!

Will birad 2 has any chance to become cancer in future

[@tts3866]

Thanks for this Video my BI-RAD was a Catagory 5. And I am in the process of getting a biopsy done. I’m just praying and trusting God what ever I have to go through God is gonna be with me but sometimes my nerves gets the best of me it’s scary just waiting. My doctor has already told me to prepare for the food and the bad so I’m super nervous. But thanks for this video you broke it down great where I truly understand.

[@faithledbetter5664]

Amen and I'm a #5 to have the bracket 2 gene. I'm like satan you aren't going to kill me! Have you gotten a biopsy done?

[@tts3866]

Yes I have gotten my biopsy the results came back Wednesday sad to say I have cancer Invasive Carcinoma. I’m just waiting on my appointment with my surgeon on Tuesday for the next step. Which will probably be surgery and chemo.

[@faithledbetter5664]

@tts3866 don't give up the lord he is greater than cancer . 🙏 I actually had a prophecy spoken over me last night and she said the lord is saying give it to him. And I've been feeling that in my spirit not to give life to it. That's been with everything and it still applies with this situation and for you. I have seen soo many miracles! And I know you have to!

[@faithledbetter5664]

My daughter had actually saw a hand on me last month as I was turned sideways and seconds later my pain started back up. Remember just as our Father has assigned us angels , Satan has also assigned us demons. Know he is trying to take you out but he knows he can't do that so he wants to make your life a living hell. He knows his time is short & we have a assignment that will save souls from his evil hands! We must not live in fear! I'm not moving forward with anymore doctor appointments or anything . Bc I feel not to in my spirit. 💞

[@tts3866]

Thanks so much for the encouragement I will never give up God isa healer and I believe that deep down in my heart. No matter how hard the road get to travel I know that God will never leave me nor forsake me.

[@littlepeartarot]

I’m birads 3 with two tumors (one of which is small and not palpable) and anti parallel and suspicious calcifications which from what I read is a scary sign. I wish I had asked for biopsy instead of waiting for another ultrasound in 6 months.

[@nancybee250]

Please demand a biopsy immediately. My 28 year old daughter had repeated ultrasounds and mammogram s over 18 months as the radiologist kept saying she just had a 1cm fibroadenoma and innumerable calcifications. She was told she didnt need a biopsy but when she went to a different facility,different radiologist, she found she now had advanced stage breast cancer that could have been treated nearly two years ago. A biopsy is the only way to truly know. Even though statistically most lumps aren't cancerous you don't want to second guess it.

Can Bi-rads 2 become Bi-rads 1 on subsequent regular follow-ups?

[@MedSchoolMadeEasy]

typically not. going from benign to negative would be unlikely as benign findings are not going to go away as a patient ages

[@barbarab202]

I must be an odd one out. Just got my results and am Bi-rads 1 now, was 2 last year. I had asked the mammogram tech whether one can go from 2 to 1, she checked with the radiologist after, and came back to tell me that last year’s report was either incorrectly indicated as 2 or was a small cyst (I think that’s what she said) that went away. Said nothing is visible or marked.

[@omoyenifunmi2327]

[@nancybee250]

Please see my earlier comment that my 28 year old daughter was repeatedly told she had a bi rads 3 fibroadenoma but the radiologists were incompetent and it was actually cancer. A biopsy is the only way to be sure. Or at least make sure your mammo is read by a breast specialist not a general radiologist.

BiRADS 2 means cancer??

[@d25music]

He said Benign. That means no cancer, but if you're concerned, always follow up with your doctor. Be an advocate for yourself, and don't ever let them brush off your questions. Demand answers. Any questions you may have, write them down and take them to the doctor on your next visit. I always make notes while at my visits too.

I’m 26 and have 2 masses bi rads 4. Doing biopsy in 3 days. I saw the ultrasound and they do not look benign. I’m scared.. Update: Biopsy came out benign, but I am now trying to have a surgeon get it removed. Lately I feel that they're growing and I'm a bit nervous. Also, I just lost my job and insurance coverage will end on 4/1/2023 lol... If I'm unable to get it removed, I will pray to god that it stays benign. Having family history with cancer makes me a bit nervous about this whole thing though. Lastly, I finally came on here and read all the comments. I wish you guys are doing well and all the tests come out okay... Just know that you guys are not alone and I will keep you guys in my prayers regardless of the test result. ❤
