this is even more worse of a suggestion...kill it with chemo..

do you know how toxic is chemo to one's health? it destroys the entire immune system and that also doenst guarantee that it eradicates cancer cells.

TS, would suggest to visit nearest hospital. Island Hospital would be good and confirm if the lump node is indeed a tumor or a benign cyst before you drastically decide to go for surgery.

go for 2nd or 3rd opinion if you need to seriously...

I have been to a gynae, and get the result after breast ultrasound. My doctor also cannot confirm to me whether it is benign or cancerous tissue. She suggested me to go for a surgeon, remove it and send for biopsy.

I'm not suggesting she just waltz on in to a hospital and get chemo, I'm saying go to a Dr and he will know better how to deal with the issue.

I'm no expert by any stretch, but I thought chemo was how they deal with cancer? correct me if I'm wrong. or are you coming from an alternative medicine stand point

I hope it was not a cancer!
My doctor told me mostly is fibroadenoma. But she can't 100% confirm on it, they need undergo biopsy to determine whether it is cancerous.

Yes i have consulted a gynecologist and we have done the breast ultrasound. But she told me that she won't in-charge in the removal operation.

Pantai mutiara, Penang.
Yes I am thinking of going to another hospital. I have the ultrasound report with me, but confused with which specialist should i go for.
Surgeon? oncologist? Please advise.

Go and get an opinion from a surgeon..

Many hospitals in Penang, Adventist, Lam Wah Ee, Bagan Specialist,  Island to name a few smile.gif

If they need a sample to confirm then fine, just dont undergo surgery to remove it all because your doctor said it needs to be removed

and try to stay away from oncologists as much as you can, those are bunch of conmen who wants nothing more than to say "you have cancer, stage bla bla bla, and you need to undergo chemo, which MAY  give you a chance to eradicate the cancer cells"

Thank you triple02, I am going for a surgeon and see what's their opinion on how to "settle" this lump!

Consulting gynae for breast cancer is a joke! It's like going to clothing store to buy hardware tools. Does anyone even know what is cancer? How does cancer thrive in our body and how do we starve the cancer cells from growing? Does anyone even know what doctors study in their degree? Medicine, which is drugs, to diagnose and treat symptoms, and NOT fixing the underlying cause of the problem. Read this health blog if you have time and stop being foolish and wasting time and effort causing more damage to the already suffering ill body. This blog will save your life folks! Just my 2 cents from my 8 years or nutrition and health background.

I believe most girls will think of gynae when there is a problem in breast, uterus and ovarian.
