Feel so anxious, confused

[guiltyw]

Hi,

I recently had a mammogram that showed a suspicious small suspicious area, had a biopsy which was benign. I thought that would be it.

As the area was new compared to previous mammograms the surgeon wants to remove it, he says there is no urgency, but if its benign why put someone through a general anaesthetic and remove it?

My anxiety is through the roof and this is just so confusing, does anybody have any ideas


Regards

While there could be many reasons why, the most likely situation is that it's something, if left, could pose potential issues later down the line. I've had several benign skin lesions/moles removed that were at the present harmless but were the type that could possibly/eventually cause an issue. Sounds like you have a good doctor that's looking after you!
