Any ideas

I was diagnosed with invasive ductile cancer at the age of 38, i found it all a bit of a blur now as all decisions were out of my hands asthe surgeon made the decision for a bilateral mastectomy & removal of 3 lymph nodes, 2 years on they have now found what they say is a cyst which is how my first presented but they say is to small to biopsy. I am unsure as to what step to take next. I am thinking whether it have preventative surgery & get reconstruction at the same time or to go along with the medical experts as they were wrong about the first tumor.

mastectomy

    Hi TonaM No it's not its in my remaining breast. My scare line is fine & as I'm still having mammograms & ultrasounds every 12 months it wasn't there at last years check-up, which is why I'm unsure as to what to do.

    I gather this cyst?is in your mastectomy scarline-is that right?If so,then I can't see why the doctor can't do a fine needle biopsy.Go with your gut and push for a biopsy- I would. Tonya xx
