Hello! I am a 37 year old mother of 3. I had a total vaginal hysterectomy when I was 31due to severe dysplasia ( possible pre cancer). about a year and a half ago I started feeling this throbbing pain in my left breast. It is in the outer quadrant and is localized to one area. upon self examination I felt a small less than pea sized lump. I called the Dr. and they ordered an ultrasound which they said came back normal but wanted me to return in 2 months. well things happen.. kids , school activities etc., and I didn't make my appointment until just recently. (about a year went by.) I saw my doctor last week who noticed some fullness ( I have dense breasts) and ordered a mammogram and another ultrasound. afterwards the tech came back with a paper that said "benign appearing" . she then told me she noticed my lymph nodes were enlarged but the Dr. would get the report in about a week and they recommend follow up mammo in 6 months.I am scared to death! not to mention in pain! I can even lay on my stomach or my left side to sleep. Any specific questions I should ask the DR.?
