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.

I can feel your frustration Joyce. I would also call and ask the questions you need to ask so you'll know what's going on. I never leave the Drs. office without knowing what he is talking about. I'm keeping you in my prayers that it will be nothing at all.

I suggest that you take someone with you when you go to the doctor just so they can help you remember what was said. You may have to ask the doctor to explain things better to you but don't be afraid to ask questions. You may want to write down questions before you go so you won't forget them. Hugs. We're here for you if you need us.
