to biopsy or not
I have recently found a lump (2 months ago) which I initially thought was due to my cycle but soon realized that even after my periods the lump still remained. I went to my doctor who then referred me...
Dear @ziggystar85
if it were me, I’d do the biopsy. Two different assessments, with dense tissue? You’ll be anxious about it until it’s settled. Your GP should refer you for another opinion, in the circumstances it’s the sensible thing to do given the first assessment. Personally, I’m surprised that the second doctor didn’t simply do what had already been recommended. Just be very clear that you want this done ASAP. Your GP should support that position. Best wishes.
