Michelle,

Sending good thoughts and prayers your way.  As many here know, I am a 7-year breast cancer survivor, and try and stay connected to the subject of breast health.  I tend to be a resarcher/information gatherer when in these types of situations, and do recognize that everyone deals with them differently.  That being said, I'll throw a couple things out to you.  Feel free to ignore them; again, everyone's situation is unique.

I am a big fan of second opinions, and suggest to people to obtain a second opinion.  That being said - make sure you're comfortable with your doctor's course of action.  The other question I would ask is why is he/she going directly to a lumpectomy and not doing a needle/core biopsy first?   It could be because regardless of the pathology of the lump, they'll want to remove it?  Please note - this is just a question I would ask and would want to understand. I'm definitely not a medical expert or implying your doctor may be doing something wrong.

Wishing you the best outcome...
- Patty

 

Lots of good thoughts and prayers going out to you Michele!

What did you think of DR Newman? Will he be doing this at Foothill?

I am praying that all is GREAT.  and that it is just alittle lump and once they remove it, it will be done and over with.  Yes waiting is the hardest.  Hang in there. 

Hugs
