I have actually been thinking about a mastectomy but no one in my family has ever had BC and my genetic testing came back negative, so idk if a mastectomy would even be recommended. Especially if they don’t find anything on the MRI.
And to make matters worse, my oncologist, who I trusted completely, just moved to another state so now I have to find someone new.
Even though the doctor who did the ultrasound could feel the lump, she was so quick to say, “good news, it’s benign” because she couldn’t see it on the screen and she “didn’t see anything concerning.” She didn’t even suggest getting an MRI. I told my Rad Onc about the situation and asked if she would order one.
I have learned to listen to my gut and advocate for myself but I feel sometimes things get missed and then people don’t find out it’s something serious until it’s too late.

Did you have radiation on the breast that you feel the new lump ?

Absolutely get that MRI and push for earlier date if possible.

I had a normal mammo AND normal ultrasound and physical hands on exam WITH A SYMPTOM!

Nope … normal. Two months late I insisted on MRI .. BOOM 💥 2 tumors, 3 &4 Cm ( not mm) .

SELF EXAM SELf ADVOCATE!
