How many of you were told your ultrasound was normal but ended up being cancerous?

My ultrasound didn’t show anything suspicious yet the tumor was cancerous. Had they not done a biopsy after the second “clear” ultrasound, the cancer wouldn’t be been detected

I’m curious how many others have had “normal” ultrasounds yet in fact did have cancer in their tumors. I’ve been reading some comments on some posts and it’s seems to be quite a few of us out there

It got me not only angry, but also really curious why hospitals are using ultrasound as a tool to detect cancer when clearly it’s not a reliable one

Happened here too! Was told the first ultrasound didn’t look suspicious so I should wait 6 months and get another….wtf. In that time, I had a cousin dx with BC so I called to try and get that second ultrasound sooner. They told me it wasn’t recommended. Trusted them because they’re the medical professionals. The second ultrasound didn’t look much different (no growth), but they decided it wouldn’t hurt to do a biopsy at that point. My PCP found the lump in May 2023, I wasn’t diagnosed until that December.
