I'm pretty sure I remember someone here on BB posting that they'd had treatment (surgery?) for non-cancerous breast changes over a period of time?
I have a non-scary lump-ish structure in my breast - US and mammogram clear, waiting on needle biopsy results but they think it will probably come back clear...but dr said my usual surgeon will want to talk to me about it anyway. I think I can feel some more surgery coming on but am happy to hear details of how your non-cancerous lumpy breastness was managed! Thanks
A good GF has had fibrous lumps removed from her breasts over the last 10 years. She has had quite a few surgeries - I think she has adopted the I want them out approach whilst another GF is currently using a watch and wait approach - she has had this observed closely for the last 9 months after biopsy came back negative. In both cases the surgeons gave the girls the choice of both options. xx
Mak thanks very much for that. I can appreciate the decisions behind both surgery & watch'n'wait. Gawd I wish someone had given me the choice three years ago. I've also speculated the the surgeon may discuss a few other things like having a MRI (which medicare doesn't pay for) or going on tamoxifen which is a 50-50 decision for women in my cohort.
Trill I'll admit to being in a bit of lather yesterday when I revisited the scene of the crime & waited to get the US done - but realistically this is a little hiccup even if I need surgery - it will be a much lesser thing than my first lumpectomy and with a much quicker recovery. Besides the lump has changed shape after the dr aspirated it yesterday so it might even be a cyst. Gonna ring the breast care nurse today and debrief/pick her brain.
Tx for non-cancerous breast changes?
