Not sure where to got from here to be honest, i know i should trust their judgement, but it’s just the uncertainty of it all. The surgen felt the lump and agreed that i would probably need a FNA after the ultrasound to sort me out, but when the ultrasound showed nothing, he said it was all clear and due to my age and no previous history of BC that i know of (i don’t know my dad’s family’s medical history) that it’s probably just fatty tissue.
My issue is that the lump has been there for over a year, i’ve not been pregnant in that time and in the last 3/4 months is has been growing and has been starting to get uncomfortable, not exactly painful, but i am more aware of it when my arms are in certain positions etc, it is also cause a tiny dimple, pulling at the skin, so there is definately something there, should i insist on a biopsy?
would benign lumps cause the dimpling and surely these would show up one way or another on US?
I have two kids and the last time i felt this fearful was when i had a miscarriage, i had no reason to believe that anything was wrong, i just freaked…and low and behold a few days later it was confirmed, but i knew all along…i have this same feeling.
sorry for rambling, i’m just at my wits end. i should note that i have private medical insurance, so was fast tracked through a private clinic, and was told i was authorised for US/Mam/Biopsy/MRI etc, so they obviously know the normal diagnosics required, just not sure if i can ask for these to be done, or it needs to be requested by the surgey, he was very late with his surgery as the mammogram was broken and i was the last patient, so also felt i was holding people back from their evening, and a bit fobbed off.
thanks
