Hi Carolak....I'm not sure what the Dr at Moffett's specialty is, but to assume things without testing isn't very reassuring. A biopsy will provide detailed information about what your growth actually is, and can provide needed guidance on a treatment plan. By doing surgery first without any other knowledge of what you're dealing with, it may cause you to miss important treatment steps. Is the Moffett Dr a sarcoma specialist, or sarcoma surgeon? He should have this specialty to actually help you. If not, you should go to a sarcoma specialist or clinic for better guidance. As you are a breast cancer survivor, you need all the details you can get on this new growth. Wishing you well in your journey and the time ahead.

I second her opinion of absolutely having a sarcoma specialist involved in your analysis of next steps. Sar omas can be very aggressive.
