Follow-up to my surgical consult - Am I over reacting?

[Guest guest]

First, thank you for your responses to my earlier post, it really

helped. I met with the surgeon yesterday, who within a 15 minute time

frame, looked at the mammogram and ultrasound pictures I brought in,

examined me and read the radiologist's report.

He said to wait six months and have another ultrasound. My only risk

factor is that I have not given birth to a child. (I have a 4 year

old daughter, the light of my life who came to us through adoption

from China). He said the fact that there have been aunts and cousins

who have been diagnosed pre-menopause is not a factor in my case.

I'm not sure I can wait six months. There's quite a bit going on

around here and I really don't need the added stress.

He was highly recommended by both my Gynocologist and the Radiologist.

Am I overreacting? Or is this the norm?

Thanks

Hi , i guess if they told you to wait 6 months is because they don't find

anything wrong, right?

Hugs, Anggy.

You are not over reacting. I would not wait 6 mo. I would either insist he do

something or go to a breast specialist for a second opinion. I will keep you in

my prayers.

,

I agree with nne, go with your natural instincts, which I believe is that

you do not want to wait 6 months.. For for a 2nd or even a 3rd opinion.. I know

its very time consuming, but this is your life... I don't believe it someone

going for opinions just to hear what they want to hear (being the opposite of

what is visibly true) but I do think you should have some comparisons and then

maybe even go back to your primary care of gyn to discuss the options then

presented.

Best of Luck, keep me posted,

Love

Hi ,

I assume you were sent for a surgical consult for a reason. Perhaps a

second opinion is warrented.

Get a biopsy!

Due to my dense breasts, my tumor didn't show up on mammogram or sonogram when I

first felt it. I

waited 6 months, as per their instructions, and then it still didn't show up on

mammogram, but the

ultrasound showed something " unusual " .

It's not hard to do a biopsy, so pester them until they do it. About 3% of all

breast cancers

don't show up on mammogram or sonogram, until they are Very Big. Oh, now I know.

Take care,

Ruffing

Grade 3, Stage IIIA, ER/PR+, HER2 neg, 4.9 cm and 5 nodes positive

Chemo and radiation completed 9/28/06

Mastectomy, no reconstruction
