I found a lump. My mammo showed 2 enlarged lymph nodes, areas of suspicion on mammo and then my breast ultrasound shows definite mass. I am 50, have not been sick, pretty healthy actually. The mass on sono could be fiboadenoma right? But aren't I a little old for that? So shouldn't I go ahead and have a biopsy or lumpectomy since we see enlarged lymph nodes also? I see surgeon in 2 days for consult, I was hoping for some sort of insight before then. Some one told me they may say watch it for 6 months and then follow up. I don't think I could live with that wait, watch and hope for the best thing. Shouldn't it be just check it out now? I do have family history of breast cancer. (I wrote a few days ago and ask about heart pains (no one answered as of yet) because I wasn't sure about the pains I was having, after I wrote I found this lump and discovered that's where the pain originates, I can tell now.)
