Second lump found

Thank you lesley, because I have chosen masectomy with reconstruction he advised I am not needing an mri, I only would if chose lumpectomy.  I suppose that would be to give them a more detailed picture of my breast. He advised it is small, I still cannot feel it and I did have an enhanced mammogram, which showed its small. Would they of know if it was large from my mammogram pls xx

Yes, they can tell by your mammogram the approximate size of your lump.

Thank you lesley, you have been a great mode of support, he did advise stage 1 grade 2 but obviously need that confirmed, I an sure if was large I would be going through different treatment.  Or they would of said.  Was you advised of a size from your mammogram xxx

Hi Shaz52

My Cancer Nurse told me the size of my lumps. They were 2.7cm and grade 3. 

Best wishes

The size was measured during the ultrasound I had immediately after the mammogram.  For larger lumps they sometimes suggest chemo to see if they can reduce the size but as I had 3 quite large lumps and the fact that the type I had (lobular, er+) was not particularly receptive to chemo, they went straight to mastectomy.

Thank you so the fact mine shown  small on mammogram, I can't feel it yet, don't think they could see it on ultrasound. It was diagnosed with a vacuum biopsy so they take more tissue don't they, so hoping with these indicators and clear nodes it's small, xx

The treatment these days is so good. You'll be ok!

Hi Mal70 advised my mammogram showed breast distorsion, it's non palpable and consultant advised its small, and did not show on ultrasound. Its not been sized, how are they usually sized, i had an enhanced mammogram, consultant would of known if this was large and I am thinking it would of shown on ultrasound. You turn everything into a negative don't u, its so hard xx

Hi lesley63 so surely they would know if mine was large, had screening mammogram and enhanced mammogram and ultrasound. Did you have any other tests xxx

Hi can I ask what treatment you had pls, was yr ER 8/8.  Mine is ER 8/8 PR 7/8 xx
