Is breast architectural distortion reason to panic?

Posted by hannah1 @hannah1, Mar 2, 2023

I had my breast screening mammogram yesterday and it showed focal asymmetry/architectural distortion. I have an ultrasound scheduled but I am a diagnosed generalized anxiety patient therefore am struggling with a panic response. I really would appreciate some input into this diagnoses so I can get through the waiting and panic. Thank you so much.

I’m actually going for a second opinion at an actual breast care center this week. I hope I get some answers and hopefully a doctor who cares! Thanks for asking!
This has been the most stressful month of my life and I hope I get some sort of relief when I go for my appointment.

What did you learn at your second opinion, @mamadani?

They didn’t do much so nothing really. They did a normal breast exam and told me to come back in December for a mammogram. I’m having more pain and I can actually feel lumps now so I scheduled a visit with primary care to see what they think..
Hoping this visit helps in some way.
