Have had yearly MRI of breasts. Found mass on MRI. Unable to see on ultrasound (although found another mass on US which they biopsied)
Then had biopsy that was MRI guided- biopsy was positive for
cancer.
May help if you have dense breasts, multiple biopsies, family history to take part in preventative breast cancer clinic At a major hospital. BWH and MGH in Boston both offer clinics.

Thank you for the reply! I hope you are doing well. I had very large breasts and had a reduction on 5/21/24. My Mother had Triple Negative Breast Cancer and has been in remission for almost 13 years. I had a hard recovery after the surgery and the lump was found August or September 2024 as I was finally able to feel the breast. It was numb and swollen for the longest time. Left breast healed nicely. I chalked the lump to scar tissue or a hematoma hoping it would go away. It’s large, in the surface like 3”x2” crazy they can’t find ANYTHING on it in mammogram or ultrasound, so of course I’m worried now.
