I had my recent mamogram done and i am attaching the report. My regular oncologist didnt tell me anything in particular , another doctor from my family yesterday told me that there is some area of concern as per the mamo findings.
Can you pls analyse my attached report and adv if there is any issues ?

We are not doctors here and cannot advise you. Your report seems clear, if your doctor has concerns then you should check into it. Always better safe than sorry. I am crossing my fingers and hoping it really is nothing.

Hi Sabitha, this must be confusing to get two different analyses of your recent mammogram. I might suggest making an appointment with your oncologist to review the findings and understand why they feel there is no concern.

Please note that I removed the report you had attached because it contains personal health information and contact information. We recommend not sharing such personal data on public forums for your own security.

If you would like to get a second opinion from medical experts at Mayo Clinic, you can submit an appointment request online. Here's more information on how to do that: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63

Hi @megsmum, this must be hard news to hear that your daughter has triple negative breast cancer. I'm bringing @windyshores @kk57 and @thielmann1 into the discussion because I believe that have experience with lobular cancer that is triple negative.

Megsmum, how are you doing? What treatment is your daughter getting?

I thought I had replied, but I think I maybe lost the thread. I am struggling to understand that I am probably going to lose my lovely girl very soon. She has a wonderful husband, a son 23, and another son of 9. She is a specialist in her field within the health and care system
Her treatment has been difficult, she had three months of the red devil chemo, and developed blood clots and lung infarction on the first round, so the second round was delayed for 3 weeks. This was followed up by 3 rounds of docetaxel, causing neuropathy and bladder problems, but never touched the cancer. Breast removal followed and radiotherapy after that. Immunotherapy is being considered at the moment, but we don't know x

Any advice would be helpful. They have drained over 2 gallons of fluid from around her lung in the last week. Today they were going to try sticking the membrane to the chest wall but her body is making too much fluid.

I am sorry to hear this. Look up RSO protocol. It’s a cancer killer! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
