Cyst/Abcess ?

Thank you! I appreciate your support. I really need all the support right now. I know I have to push in order to have that piece of mind. I'm just really scared of the unknown. The what ifs, the actual truth of it being more than just a cyst or abcess. I'm trying to be very positive and believe that it is nothing but I still fear the possiblity. Thanks again will keep you guys posted....

Saying prayers 4 U Liz..... big hugs too whatever it IS Ure FAR better off finding out what it is RIGHT NOW rather than later .

Breast cancer ( God forbid ) IS hugely surviveable thank God ....especially with early detection .

U NEED to know .. sores on the beautiful bewbies are NOT OK.....

Ull be far better informed whatever it turns out to be ... Ull now Ur own BODY better and be able to take better care of it proactively in the future HOWEVER it turns out ... more precise information is always a good thing i think ....

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate all your kind words. It really means a lot to me. Its a scary situation for me but I know I need to do this to have piece of mind. Having a biopsy done is scary but I needs to be done. I have my appt on Thurs  is the biopsy something that can be done that sameday or would I need to go back for another appt?

I had 'mastitis' in one breast about 2 years ago.. it had been 7 years since I had quit nursing- so it is not an expected thing. What a scare.. fortunately it responded quickly to antibiotics- so we felt sure that it was just an infection. But to be sure, I was referred to a breast surgeon quickly. At 6 weeks there was still a small lump, so I  had a biopsy- results were that it was 'necrotic tissue' from the infection. I  followed up with repeat mammogram and ultrasound at 6 months and 1 yr.. now I'm back on a regular yearly mammo plan.

If it makes you sleep better-- I would insist on a biopsy. When they do the biopsy, they can put in a marker so that it shows clearly in future mammograms (and ultrasounds) so they can monitor the specific area more closely.

I definetly going to get this biopsy! My only fear is that I had been taking antibiotics for 2 weeks and the infection and swelling did go down but it did not go away completely. I am now once again taking antibiotics. To clear up the infection that the radiologist said I still have. I started them on Thurs so lets see what happens now. I hope and pray that its just the infection and nothing beyond that. I have faith that I will be fine with whatever God has in his plan for me. I know there's a little  watching over me  Thanks for telling me your experience. It helps me see all the different sides and the effects on every person and different they are.
