I’m so sorry that you’re dealing with this! It IS incredibly hard!
I’m dealing with a similar situation. My one year MRI showed a lesion in the opposite breast, Birads 3. I go to the cancer center in one week for another MRI and mammogram.
Give yourself some time and grace to adjust to the latest update, and new information. It disorienting and upsetting to have your view of your current life changed. Kind of like an earthquake that vibrates your gound and shakes your surroundings and you’re not sure yet whether it was a 7.5 or a 2.4, and whether they’ll be aftershocks.
Keeping you in my prayers!

Big hugs to you. Praying yours turns out to be benign. Hang in there!

I love analogies and your earthquake analogy is right on target. Not every earthquake is significant nor is every lump, but they do deserve our attention for however long the shaking lasts. To continue with your analogy, if it's 2.4 we're delighted and if it's 7.5, we hold on tight and then come together to rebuild.
Two people on this thread have just told us that their new lump found post breast cancer was benign. That's a good reminder that 80% of breast biopsies are benign so just because you had cancer before doesn't mean every lump from that day forward will be malignant. It just means that we need to be vigilant and the doctors would be remiss if they didn't biopsy. Please keep us posted. Continued prayers.
