I’m from a very high risk genetic background (not BRCA, but BRCA equivalent) and the decision has been made to remove a growing lump as they cannot seem to get an answer about what it is with biopsies (five needles and all were perfectly normal breast tissue).
I’m in the cancer pathway as there’s a possibility it is cancer and I’ve opted to have it done under local anaesthetic - am I mad?
The lump is 2.2cm and below my nipple area but feels fairly close to the surface - it’s very easy to feel.
I figured I could go home sooner and I won’t feel as grotty but I wondered if anyone else has had similar and how it went? Would you recommend it or avoid?
