I had my well woman visit and they found a lump in my right breast. They want me to go in and get a diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound done on it. I have scheduled that the week that I am off for the surgery....now my parents who were a little negative about the surgery to begin with are using this to fuel their fire. They think I should wait until after my tests to make sure it isn't something serious before surgery.

I personally think it may just be a cyst, since breast cancer doesn't run in my family, and that I don't want to delay getting the surgery. Plus if it is something more serious I am sure that me getting in good shape and eating healthy will be something the doc will require anyway.

I know I am rambling on and on...but needed to vent...

Maybe tell your surgeon about it. If he says okay, run with it.

my 2 cents,

I'm sorry you have to deal with this now. I agree with Julie and think it would be a good idea to inform your surgeon. He may even be able to help you get the tests out of the way before surgery.

Any center that is worth it will be able to read the US and mammogram right there. That way you can make an informed decision if heaven forbid they want to biopsy or what-not. I hope it's nothing, and you should do what's best for you. If that's having the surgery regardless then so be it.

dhales... im so sorry this has happened to you. what awful timing as well.

its going to be difficult i think to get over your parents and their arguements... but in the end its your call. Personally, if i felt well enough i would do what you want to do. Get both out of the way.

Okay - against my own advice I did mention it to the doc's nurse and she said she didn't see any harm in having the mammogram and ultrasound done the week I am already off. Whew...I was worried they would postpone.

The results are instant...however they have a stupid rule that they cannot give the results directly to the patient...but give them to the doctor. So my surgery is on 4/3, mammogram & ultrasound 4/5 and results 4/6. That will be a tough 24 hours....but i am sure the band will keep my mind off of it.

I'm glad you mentioned it to the nurse. Now you're good to go. It would be awful to arrive for your surgery and then have to postpone because of some hospital policy you didn't know about.

I will be praying this turns out to be nothing.

I, too, am so sorry that you have to deal with all of this. I have been in the same spot...although not at the same time I was dealing with a surgery. I have been found twice to have something...once I was biopsied and the second time, I had only ultrasound as a follow-up. Both times, it turned out to be nothing but a cyst. Thank God! I now have more frequent mammo's which give me peace of mind. Try not to worry.

I will say some prayers for you. Hang in there and keep positive thoughts.

Thanks New Life - that is what I am thinking it is. I believe it will be fine.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
