Welcome to 4WT, Joyce!! I'm so sorry to hear that you're going through so much right now. I don't know much about lumps but it seems like a long time to wait 6 months for another check-up. I think that I'd get a second opinion on that. I'm sure that you'd feel better if another doctor agreed with that diagnosis.
We have some great women and feel free to come on here and let us know how you're doing.
