Great News! I am dancing in my special Pink Shoes for you! MV
So happy for you that you got good results. Don't forget us here though.
I went to the Dr. today and asked about my mammogram. He said he did make a mistake he should of not wrote normal mammogram come back in 1 year. I told him I was upset but he acted like o well.
I went back Friday and had additional views and a sonograms done. Today I got the results and showed no radiographic findings suspicious for malignancy.
I will pray for you all I know how stressfull the wait.
Hi,
I found this in an article at
http://www.imaginis.com/breasthealth/mammogram_report_print.asp
Dense, Density: Describes breast tissue that has many glands close together. Density shows up as a white area on a mammogram film. Though fairly common (especially in younger women), dense breasts may make microcalcifications and many other masses difficult to detect.
Asymmetry: An area that is not found to be identical in both breasts (such as density). It is often a normal variant but can also be a sign of an abnormal growth.
Hi-
I just got back from my doctor and I got the same report...Assymentrical density and they also told me that they saw a benign node in my right breast which they told me I "probably" should not worry about. I am so confused. The problem is that my baseline mammography films are in an archive and I cannot get them for 10 days. The Dr. told me she has to compare them to my new ones. Thus, I have to worry for another 10 days. My mother just got diagnosed last month with DCIS. What exactly can sssymetrical denisty indicate?
Hi Topenka,
Overall it sounds like a good report. The denisity of the breast is usually noted and the fact that yours is assymetrical sounds like a simple observation, not necessarily a sign of issues. Make and appt with your GYN to discuss the results and I bet you will feel Better! MV
