Has any one architectural distortion Birads 3?

Posted by amyjan @amyjan, Jun 22, 2023

I had a screen screening mammo and was diagnosed with architectural distortion . Had a diagnostic mammo with spot compression and an ultrasound and still found architectural distortion and upgraded to Birads 3 and they won’t me to wait 6 months for follow up. I feel I should get a second opinion. I don’t think I can handle waiting six months. I do have pain and my nipple is inverted on and off. I feel maybe I should just have a biopsy. Any thoughts on how is should handle this?

Get a second opinion. I had architectural distortion on diagnostic mammo and no ultrasound correlate and it was given a Birads 4. I then had a MRI, biopsy and lumpectomy. It was a complex schlerosing lesion (radial scar). Keep us posted! Positive thoughts your way!
