Related: About this forumI finally get to see a surgeon
After the mastectomy I developed a fat tumor on the left side of my back. I have lost a great deal of weight since breast cancer and while my body size was shrinking I thought the tumor was getting bigger. At long last, the doctors agree with me. I see a surgeon on Thusday. My PCP couldn't measure it and it has dawned on him they will not be able to get all of it. I would be happy if they could half of it. I have been told I need to sleep on my back and it is very uncomfortable.
glad you finally have the appointment with
a surgeon. Those fatty tumors can be really painful ! And i know they are even worse if they are in a location where you
have to put pressure.
