Delayed surgery, 8.6cm growing very fast, not sure what to do
In January I felt a tiny mass, went to 2D, it showed nothing.

2.3 cm. tumor takes how long to grow?
Ok, I have been ruminating about this and wonder what others think: I was told that it takes approx. eight years for a tumor to grow large enough to be palpable (approx. 2cm.). After my MS last March, they found four lesions, the largest of which was 2.3 cm., and some DCIS as well. None of this was picked up in a mammogram…
