I found a lump about 2 months back, the surgeon and the onc both felt it warranted a biopsy after a CT showed nothing. My onc was sure prior to CT that if it were something, it wouldn't show with imaging. I had the biopsy and was ecstatic when myresults came back fatty necrosis and inflammation. After the initial swelling was gone, I could still feel the lump...same size, shape, location. He had removed a fat pad just below the lump. 3 days later, I developed edema from my shoulder blade to my chest and he was unable to do anything further until that resolved....long story short, I still have the lump and I have an ultrasound scheduled before he cuts into me again for no good reason. My feeling is that it is nothing because my tumor markers have dropped by 1/2 and I feel pretty great, but we can never be too cautious. I hope everything comes back peachy for you!
