Hi All,
It has been wonderful to read all the supportive comments and encouragments between you all. It reminds me how strong a person can be when they need to be and it reminds me of the good, kind hearted and caring people in this world.
I'm 23 and I have recently been diagnosed with a suspected benign PT. If I'm entirely honest I didnt think twice about the results that my GP gave me, when I heard benign I was happy. It wasnt until he started looking through medical journals and was trying to write me a referral to a surgeon that my alarm bells started going off. I have had FD's since I was 19 so finding lumps in my breast's wasn't uncommon but going from being told its nothing to worry about to getting a referral was scary. I was confused...if its benign why do I need surgery?! It wasn't until I got home and looked up PT on Google that I realized maybe this is more serious than my naive 23 year old brain had first thought.
I convinced my GP to let me get another test done before I work myself up over the possibility of having breast surgery. I am booked to go back a week from today. I have almost convinced myself that these next tests will come back fine and maybe my first results were incorrect or the work of an over imaginative newbie scientist... Did anyone else get second opinions?
Also, I often ask myself is it silly to get surgery over something that has not been 100% confirmed yet. I understand through all my Google research that it is often difficult to distinguish between a FD or a PT but I almost feel like an idiot worrying about surgery that may or may not happen on something that is not cancerous. In a way I feel like I'm over reacting. Did anyone else feel like this with a benign PT?
I have so many questions I almost feel like I get dizzy thinking of them all..if the results come back the same I think I need to bombard my doctor with questions but in the mean time I'm hoping someone else can tell me if what I'm feeling is normal or if i really am just making a mountain out of a mole hill...
Thanks for letting me babble on and I want to tell you that you are all amazing, strong and beautiful women!
