Thank you for your reply, Susan.
I am going to message my PCP tomorrow and ask her for her opinion on my mammogram/US results. See if she agrees with the recommendation, or if I am good to go on active surveillance for a few months.

@lizziew Hi

You are very welcome.

So sorry for your stress and potential pain issues.

I believe the immediate best option might be scheduling an appointment with the Pain specialists at your hospital whom would be able to advucate for you in terms of pain treatment and arrange for lidocaine or other pain management.

Active surveillance usually involves more Mammograms or added radiology tests which may require an added • 6 month delay.

This must be a difficult experience for you. I can imagine your distress.

Hopefully the pain specialist meeting will resolve the pain issues.

Best

Susan
