Non-mass enhancement 16 months post-lumpectomy?

In my last ultrasound, there was a finding that was classified as BI-RADS 3, but a biopsy was still requested, maybe that’s the next step for you? . Fortunately, everything came back clear. What I’ve learned from this experience is that biopsies, as a way to make sure everything is okay, have become part of my new normal. I try to see them as a form of vigilance, not necessarily something bad.
I’m sharing this because mental health has been essential on my healing journey. It’s important to me be prepared for these situations, but also to recognize that every emotion I feel is valid. We need to give ourselves permission to experience and work through them.
My next ultrasound is scheduled for October, and honestly, I’m scared as hell—and that’s okay.

I'm scared as hell myself! It is my new norm. I had DCIS in right breast removed 1 1/2 yrs ago along with 2 abnormal lumpectomies in left breast. Now I've had a stereotactic biopsy on left breast results being LCIS. Lumpectomy to be planned after 4 MRI guided biopsies on October 3rd to see what's up with these snarky looking areas. I was warned this would be a life long process. May I add I am not Braca 2 positive. Although my maternal grandmother ,mother, sister ( and her son and granddaughter are and were)) I lived with the fear most of my life. Was relieved when I was not positive but realized in my 70's my age was now working against me. My grandmother died of cancer as did my sister at 36. Tragic. I've also lost a first cousin and have a male cousin who had a double mastectomy. I hate that I have all this scar tissue that can look snarky because of surgeries. Anyone put off MRI guided biopsies for that reason? I know I'll continue to have them done but have been told to consider flap surgery. Comments?
