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

It’s really good that you met with the surgeon. She felt something. Apparently, even the best trained of clinicians can’t feel lesions that are less than 1 cm. Did she feel the lump and attest to its presence? And how could it be from radiation if the radiation took place other side? It sounds like the ultrasound person could was dismissive and did not take your concerns seriously. I would go back to the ultrasound office and ask to speak to the manager and the radiologist on site. I have done this and the people are generally very sympathetic. It’s not fair that you have to wait two weeks to see someone else with such serious concerns and misgivings. Perhaps go back to the surgeon and tell her that the person on gave you 2 minutes. There is also an MRI. Good luck. I hope it’s nothing and it could be nothing. But you need to get to the bottom of this for peace of mind. I don’t blame you for being upset. If it were me I would go back to the ultrasound office first thing tomorrow morning and call the surgeon for a follow up ASAP. Wishing you the best!
