usually if they are in any doubt they will send you for a biopsy but it wouldn't be a bad idea to discuss it with your GP or local breast nurse so they can explain what may have caused this mass and give you some reasurance, then if you're still unhappy with what they've said request an earlier mamogram. Hope all goes well
Good Luck
Just read about your stents collapsing. Stents are an option for me too, but I am waiting til the need is greater. For now I get along. My blockage is in the femoral artery, so it affects my legs. Were you given any information as to why the stents did not hold? Did they get blocked from scar tissue or? Did you have to take any medications after the stents were placed and where were they placed? I thank you for any info you can give me, because the information I was given by the vascular surgeon is so scant. How are you doing today?
