Hi, I'm (48 F) new to this community. A member of the perimenopause subreddit told me about this forum. I'm looking for advice and some encouragement since I don't currently have a support system or emotional support. On May 8th, I had a mammogram and a breast ultrasound, and they found a suspicious mass. So they asked me to come back on May 8th, and they took six additional mammograms and another breast ultrasound. Today I picked up my results, and I'm BI-RADS 4C. My gynecologist has an open appointment on May 26th, and he told me over the phone that he'll order a biopsy to see if the mass is malignant. I'm scared and feel defeated. Last year I had Fournier's syndrome, and I almost didn't make it. This is the worst birthday ever (today is my birthday). Despair is consuming me.

Last Saturday I had a mammogram and a breast ultrasound. They found a mass, so they asked me to come back today for additional scans. The ultrasound showed an irregular mass that could be malignant. My OB/GYN doesn't have any appointments until May 26th, so I'll have to endure a week of anxiety until I find out what it is and what the next steps are. I think I just wanted to vent because I'm alone; I'm a single mother and I have no one to lean on right now. I feel completely defeated.
