Hi
I am 47 and recently went to the Doctor because I had pain for 4 months, bad enough to keep me awake at night, but never found a lump.
I had an mammogram, ultrasound and then core biopsies as a lump was found at the site of the pain.
I am very very lucky as it turned out to be a Fibroadenoma. However, I saw a Surgeon yesterday who said he would not remove it as the pain was unlikely to be caused by the Fibrodenoma. It was a general breast pain and possibly psychosomatic. I could understand if it was a generalised pain or the pain started after the lump but I had the pain first and then they found the lump ,exactly where the pain is.
I don’t like getting second opinions but I was very upset by his consultation…he was not at all constructive. Should see someone else? I thought at my age with pain it wad common practice to remove these benign tunmours of they hurt?
I don’t normally cry but was really upset as he offered no solution and suggeted it was purely stress related!
