    Don't wait...

    like the others have said - Get The Biopsy !!! Even though it may turn out to be benign - at least it will give you peace of mind...I listened to my Gyno tell me that just because I was 40 - I didn't need to get a mammogram every year - even though I had a suspicious lump...4+ years later - I did have a mammogram and turned out to be cancer...

    No more waiting.  Please call and get a biopsy scheduled as soon as possible!

    We care and that's why we are all saying this.

    thanks everyone for the feedback

    Thank you everyone for the feedback,  I actually just read the report it was emailed to me it was a birad 3, and slightly hypoechoic, dont know if that changes anything, my doctor himself gave me minimal info.

    I don't know what your report

    I don't know what your report means, but, please have a serious conversation with your doctor about a biopsy.

    Hugs, Rose

    DO NOT WAIT

    So glad you're getting a biopsy.  I had a fluid-filled cyst years ago and so when I found this new lump around March this year, passed it off as nothing.

    Long story short, by the time I get the biopsy in July, it's proven cancerous and had entered at least 2 lymph nodes.  Lumpectomy was Aug. 1 and now facing the

    trifecta -- chemo, radiation and hormone therapy.  To think if I'd caught it very early before lymph node involvement, I coulda gotten away with removal of tumor and radiation.  The chemo idea is scaring the bejeezus out of me.  I've always been vain, and losing my slow-growing hair is the biggest issue for me; sad but true.  So hopefully yours is benign anyway, but best to get it checked before your BP goes sky high worrying about it!
