ultrasound and biopsyThank you very much for you response. That helps to know. I have had discharge and thought the lump may have gotten big enough to cause that or that it may just be hormonal. I have never had children. I have hypothyroid too. So the discharge may be from that. I just worry because when I got there they didn't have the info from my doctor and they weren't aware there were 2 spots to look at until I told them. I didn't feel very confident in what they were doing but maybe my doctor will be better at what they were seeing. Again, thanks a lot. A great way to keep your mind off of results is to read Charlain Harris vampire series, the first one is "Dead Until Dark" |

ultrasound and biopsyHi, I had my ultrasound today and the lump that is easily felt wasn't showing on the test. They said its probably part of the breast tissue. I'm a bit confused. Does that mean that I'm lumpy? Cuz it really feels different than any other lump. Its much harder and it doesn't move. Thanks for any help.

Worried About CallbackI'm not sure about your area but when I called my doctor back they were able to tell me what the techs notes were. They didn't say it in their words, they read exactly what the tech wrote. But I had to ask them how many spots they found because when they first called to set up an ultrasound they didn't tell me anything exept there were a few spots that needed to be looked into further. So definately ask. Hope everything turns out well for you :D! |

ultrasound and biopsyThank you both very much! I guess I thought it would be better to do the first ultrasound with the biopsy instead of having to have 2 ultrasounds. Thanks again and for letting me know there isn't much pain if any involved. I had to look up what idc and dcis were but thats good, now I know some more terms just in case. |

ultrasound and biopsyHi, I have been roaming around the site for about a week and its been really helpful. I do have a question though that I haven't come across here. I'll give a bit of history. I'm 32 and a few years ago I woke up with a large lymph node under my right arm. It was very visible, I don't recall it being red or anything, but it went away in about 2 months or so. During that time I found a small lump on the same side the lymph node was on. The lump was maybe half the size of a pea. Now about 2 or 3 years later here I am. The lump is about the size of a carbonzo bean? I went and had a mammogram and so I was scheduled to see a surgeon so he could check things out, but that isn't until June. The womens health clinic called me today saying they want me to have an ultrasound and that the doctor wasn't concerned because it looked like I had cysts. (I found out today there were a few spots) I didn't think to ask if they were doing a biopsy with the ultrasound. So my question is, are ultrasounds usually done without a biopsy and then if they see something they don't like do they do another one with a biopsy or do they do that all in one shot? Thanks for any help! |
