Mass found on CT scan, going for an endoscopy and scared

No, I guess I thought that an endocrinologist was a diabetes doctor, but I must be wrong. Thank you for the suggestion, I never would have thought that it could be hormone related in some way, I will suggest that after I find out what my biopsy says. Do you know if it’s risky or if there is any effects to having biopsied of the lump nodes (I think they are in my chest)

@klsmidwestmom,

Endocrinologists are much more than diabetes doctors. They are involved in the entire hormone system of the body. They are good doctors to meet especially when you have a variety of problems. Here is some information about this specialty from Mayo Clinic's website, https://www.mayoclinic.org/medical-professionals/endocrinology/news/endocrine-practice-changes-during-the-covid-19-pandemic/mac-20490513

No, I'm sorry, but I've never had any biopsy of the lymph nodes so I can't help you with that question.

Keep posting questions and concerns as you wait for answers.
