Hi Joyce!!!! So glad you found us. I'm terribly sorry for the trials you're going through right now, but try hard to hand it over to God. It's not easy....believe me I know. I had a tumor the size of a small watermelon a few years back and I was so afraid. It was not cancer and we will all send prayers your way that it will be a positive outcome.
When you're ready....tell us more about yourself..family...etc. Here are some links if you'd like to get to know us better... http://www.4womentalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=78 http://www.4womentalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=78

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. ![]()

Hey Joyce! I welcomed you on a different thread, and just saw this one.
Why, oh WHY do you have to wait 6 months?? That just seems like cruel and unusual punishment!! Bless your heart!! Will keep you in my prayers.

Joyce, I'm confused as to why they would wait 6 months to do a biopsy. Did they give you a reason? If so, what was it?
As you will soon learn, I am the resident nosey nurse who has medical advice for everyone and I would advise you to get a second opinion. If I had a lump in my breast, there is no way I would wait 6 months. Early treatment for breast lumps is by far the best course of action, no matter what they turn out to be. That said, I also have fibrocystic breasts and I sometimes have lumps. I have had 2 biopsies (benign) and have to sometimes have ultrasounds after my mammograms. Fibrocystic disease casues lumpy breasts. So, please don't worry too much, but please do get a second opinion!

I am confused bc I talke to my doctor today and they want to get a biopsy of the left breast and they have me scheduled for a consultation on the 23 of December and the right breast that has the fibrocystic tissue they are waiting to see if anything changes. It makes no sense to me first they were more concerned about the right breast and the fibrocystic tissue but now they are going to biopsy the left breast where the nodule is and they say it seems to be a complex nodule.
I read online the complex nodules are usually breast cancer! ugh I am so frustrated and I wish they explained more to me. It's like yadda yadda there u go go here and do this. I am like WAIT I don't understand and I am stressing over this BIG TIME!!! I need to get a copy of the radiology report. I am gonna ask them if I can my question is can they refuse to give me a copy? |

No, they can't refuse. If you ask for the report, they have to give it to you.
