Breast cancer and diagnosis
21 Answers
Is there any way a consultant radiologist can "diagnose" breast cancer from the results of looking at a mamogram and doing a scan of the area? What would you think if that consultant said, "it doesn't look benign"? I am asking on behalf of a close family member. Thanks for your input.

I guess that's why the radiologist said, "I don't think it looks benign"...not committing herself...so it's playing the waiting game and I must say it's hell just as it is for many who do the same.
I just wanted to update this for the kind souls who answered. The diagnosis is breast cancer stage 2 and they want to do a mastectomy. I don't want to look it all up as I can't face it at this minute. I'm devastated to say the least, I don't know how she will cope but probably better than me atm though at least I'm here for her. Thanks for your help.

Just wanted to say as an update, she is having a mastectomy tomorrow and I am so nervous about it. Goodness knows what she is going through tonight but we have a wonderful family who is supporting her as we will be throughtout this dreadful ordeal. I thought you might like to know how things are going, thanks for reading.
