New lump other breast

When the lump appeared on my chest wall I thought it was a bone. My daughter encouraged me to see a doctor. I called my oncologist and was ghosted. I then went to my primary doctor who gave me a requisition the lab. I then drove in minus 40 degrees Celsius on icy highways and showed up at the surgeons office unannounced. He thought it was suspicious but also maybe a bone. When I went to the ultrasound lab they immediately gave me an emergency biopsy which confirmed cancer (apparently this was on the CT scan that the radiologist didn’t see). Maybe your primary doctor can get the ball rolling faster with a requisition to the lab tomorrow (that way you don’t have to live with this all weekend and can get things moving faster). The United Stated might work similar to Canada. I am glad you can see the surgeon on Monday to get a plan. Best wishes,
Jacqueline

Well I met with the surgeon & she felt it was related to radiation but she still sent me down for ultrasound. Went for ultrasound & the tech had the probe on my chest for less then a minute and said I'll send these to the MD to be read. I was like are you
serious, did you even find the freaking spot..She comes back, ok normal tissue, there is nothing there...And I said well it doesn't feel like normal tissue and I feel something there..so maybe I'll have to get another option...So in 2 weeks I see radiation oncologist and I will see what she thinks..By the time I got home I was very upset and frustrated...Thanks for listening
