Re: Lump in Breast and now one in armpit

When I was diagnosed I first had the mammogram followed by another mammogram and ultrasound. I think part of the ultrasound is to measure any masses that may be present - at least that was my takeaway from the reports on the ultrasound.

That said, I'm in the second opinion camp because several doctors - specialists - saw my mammogram and ultrasounds and I was assured the mass wasn't cancerous but they did a biopsy just to confirm it and it turns out they were wrong. I don't know if back then I would've requested a biopsy but I was okay with following their advice. Today I think I would insist on one.

Let us know how your daughter is doing and if you've found out anything more on her situation. Sending good thoughts and prayers your way!
