@lulubell, I moved your question about architectural distortion to this existing discussion where @hannah1 asked a similar question:
- Is breast architectural distortion reason to panic? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/is-breast-architectural-distortion-reason-to-panic/

I did this so you could see the helpful responses from fellow members like @leesal123 @randy36 @elliejk @clbolton1

Also, @elsie37 wrote this https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/281166/ in another discussion "Architectural distortion means the normal breast tissue is distorted and the pattern is disrupted but there is no mass. No mass is good. There might be other terms to go along with "architectural distortion" to further describe it. I had a radial scar as my architectural distortion. No cancer found."

I know you're worried. It sounds like your doctors are taking all precautions by sending your for an MRI. That's a good thing. When is your MRI?

Within 4 weeks, a mammo and ultrasound 8 weeks before showed an irregular small mass but couldn't be seen when time for the ultrasound biopsy, so another mammo was done and the distortion is all he could see. My nipple had retracted flat against my areola 4 months ago, which is why I went to see a doctor .
