HAD IDC With Lumpectomy, Chemo, And Radation. Mammogram Showed Deep Papilloma Like Abnormality. What To Do Now?
Question: I am 65 years old, female, had IDC two years ago- with lumpectomy, chemo, and rads...I went for a mammogram last Monday and the other breast is showing deep papilloma-like abnormality, blocked ducts, and lack of blood flow. The report says Category 4 abnormality. What happens now?
Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.
While this might simply represent an intra-ductal papilloma with blockage of the ducts within the breast, given your history of IDC of the other breast, this should be taken very seriously. You need:
1. A consultation with a breast-surgeon
2. A biopsy of the abnormality described
Do not assume the worst. Make sure that you get this checked out as soon as possible, though.
Please ask if you have additional questions.
