Guest guest Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 That's good to know Cris. I have a fatty tissue lump on my leg. I never thought of that. I feel better.... Blessings, Debbie K. -----Original Message----- From: cris They decided that it is fatty tissue. It felt and acted like cancer, so they said. I have a lot of the fibrous lumps, and this one was different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 this is true - I've had ultrasounds, after mamograms. I have an obvious lump it didn't show up on the mamogram, but it can be felt. They did the ultrasound on it. They decided that it is fatty tissue. It felt and acted like cancer, so they said. I have a lot of the fibrous lumps, and this one was different. It is still here. the ultrasound was not invasive like the biopsy. they would have done that next.

The last thing I want to do is irritate > a cancerous lump. I'm thinking just do a biopsy (which is more > conclusive) and be done with it. Do I have any faulty reasoning here? > I can understand your reasoning. I have never thought mammograms were good things. But that's another topic. When I had a breast lump...they first tried to aspirate it...since it was not fluid filled, they recommended biopsy. Before they did that, they did an ultrasound on it. That is a bit more expensive than the mammo I think...but doesn't put any pressure on the lump like a mammo would. I think women have to speak up for their own health. Tell your doctor how you feel. Ask for an ultrasound instead. i think they actually can tell more that way. Cindi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
