hello
I am a 45 year old female who just had a mammogram and ultrasound 3 days ago. The findings were explained to me as appearing as a normal mammogram, however radiologist said my breasts are extremely dense and very hard to read. He strongly suggested an MRI. Of more immediate concern, the ultrasound on right breast showed 2 enlarged lymph nodes in that armpit. One measuring 1.3 and the other 2.5. In addition, in recent blood work, my white blood cell count was well within the normal range. The radiologist was concerned. My breast has felt somewhat uncomfortable, I can't pinpoint, just odd. In addition, my mother had breast cancer at 64 years old and my sweet father passed away of advanced prostate cancer 4 years ago. So clearly, there is history of cancer. My ob/gyn has suggested I see a surgeon before we even do the MRI. Please advise as to what you might make of this. I am really trying to keep all in perspective, but have been dealing with enormous stress prior to this with my sweet mother passing away less than 2 months ago. So naturally, this has really become an even more stressful time for me with such information and not knowing what this may or may not mean with two enlarged lymph nodes and a normal white blood cell count.
Thank you for any suggestions and advice.
