Hi...I was told a similar thing, so I went to a second doctor who offered additional testing which detected the invasive component. I would explain your complete history (including mum, uterine cancer etc) and request a breast MRI. It can be a little expensive, however it is worthwhile to get peace of mine. Trust your instincts...I'm so glad I did. And if you are not happy with your second opinion, get a third!! I'm not sure what area you live in, I'm from Melbourne, but hopefully you can get to the bottom of this!

Thanks Chris , I am grateful for your advice. My Mum died because she did not get diagnosed early. I am going with my gut and trying to get some more tests, just know something is not right. I just hope to find a good Doctor.

Thanks again for the support .

Thanks for your support, I will keep pushing..

Hi Sharon

This is crazy, it's your life and your body, even if you just go to a different GP and lay your fears on the line. You can get a referral for an MRI if you push. My case was similar to yours and I realised finally that sometimes you have to take control and really push. Go with your gut instinct, it probably is nothing but at least you can relax once you have investigated it further

Regards

Hi Sharon, I was initially told by a doctor at a radiology clinic that my lump was necrotized fat (or dead fat) after having an ultasound and mammogram. I was initially happy with that diagnosis but thankfullly my gp sent me to the breast surgeon to have it investigated further and I was shocked to be told no, it's cancer. Get it checked out by another doctor asap and ask to have a biopsy. Doctors do get things wrong! If you're uneasy - and it's getting bigger - see a different doctor. Good luck, I hope yours is only a fat lump. Janet.
