Breast Ultrasound Result

Posted By Chinita24

"Breast Ultrasound Result"

About: Athabasca Healthcare Centre / Diagnostic Imaging

(as the patient),

I had my mammogram October 2024 for some mass in my right breast as referred by my primary doctor. After mammogram, the technician told me, they will perform for an ultrasound also. After that, the radiology tech said that it’s not a mass it’s just a dense tissue. So I asked what it means, she said some kind of fat.. are they the one who’s gonna explain to us the results or the doctor? Maybe if they could elaborate it more in layman’s terms. When I next visited my doctor, she did not explain the result of my mammogram or Ultrasound, she asked me about the result .. 

thank you

Thank you for choosing to share your experience of care with us about your mammogram and ultrasound and the challenges of understanding test results, when the explanation is not in layman's terms.

Although the provider is not a member of Care Opinion but we will make an effort to contact them. We want you to know that your feedback still makes a difference. Many people will read your story and find comfort, validation, or encouragement in speaking up about their own experiences.

We appreciate you and your willingness to share.

Take care,
