She says it's fine and a real tumor can't go smaller after massaging the area. Which this little thing does.
...and here we go, this is the important bit. Cancerous tumours DO NOT GET SMALLER of their own accord, they continue growing, they are 'out of control' cells. You can't make them smaller unless you have them removed or are having specific treatments designed to reduce their size.

Would you trust the surgeon?
Absolutely I would. Why would you not ? She is brilliant, with loads of experience, is checking you regularly (incredibly regularly actually, why so often ?!) and knows exactly what she is doing. WHy do you think that you, with severe HA about your breasts, knows more about it than her and should have an ultrasound? Have you studied for a lifetime in her field, are you dealing with cases of BC each and every single day ?
Its really THAT simple. As you may know, there are some of us on here who have had BC, and we have to trust our surgeons on a yearly basis, and trust our own judgement inbetween. I will repeat that YEARLY basis - you are having checks so regularly that how on earth could anything sinister pass by a field expert ?
You have an agreement, now stick to it.
Re: Small hard lump breast
Hi Carys
You are right about this. And I know it's true. The only thing i can't get out of my mind is that this lump is new. And i know my breasts pretty well. So it is new, pretty hard but if I massage it a bit it becomes smaller and after a few hours it is the same size again.
So the thing i worry about most is that it is new. And ofcourse she checked it with more experience. But now i have to wait until it maybe becomes bigger. And that is so hard.
