PT

Hello Chantel and you now know that it does matter to have lumps monitored.

On reading your response I will tell you that for years I too have had fibrocystic disease of the breasts and I think it does perhaps confuse or make it difficult to diagnose any other matter that shouldn't be there.  Even so they are good at diagnosing fibroadenoma instead of being cautious with this it seems they endeavour to convince the patient thats all it is.  In your case it is more and the return of suspicious lumps does require a positive diagnosis and not a 'generalisation' because that seems to be the most common.  We PT patients need to know that we have PT because if it returns it requires instantaneous surgery.  Professor Ung has told me that if mine returns it is an instantaneous mastectomy.

All thoughts of healing to you and do let us know how you are post surgery, emotionally and physically and offloading your thoughts to those like us on here might help  you through any rough passage.  Insist on a diagnosis of all lumps at all times.  Mine came up quickly between mamo and ultrasounds and my medical team checked back to see if there was any trace of this PT in former tests and there was not so thats how quickly it can become huge as mine was.  The trouble with fibrocystic disease of the breasts is that it can prevent them seeing what is behind such growths formed by the disease.

All good wishes to you and lets hope you have a good outcome.
