[quote=Anonymous]I'm also waiting for my biopsy next week. To the poster who said she didn't know what Birads are - Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System - it's a scale of 1-5 that describes your results. I have access to my patient portal so I've seen all of the comments about my results.....from the first mammo (said previous calcifications now looked suspicious, they were going to pull previous mammograms to compare) and also ordered a 3-D mammogram to get a better look at the tissue since the breasts are dense. It was surprisingly easy to follow. Same info came in a letter to my house.

Had the follow-up 3-D mammo - still inconclusive. They did an ultrasound biopsy - still not convinced that the new shape of 2 calcifications is okay so they want to do the needle biopsy. That makes me a Birad 4 - suspicious looking something but not sure if it's harmful yet or not.

Thank you for all of the thoughts about bruising and the positioning. For me, knowledge of what to expect is comforting. The images of the table on google are also pretty amusing.

Best to you OP.[/quote]
