Should I get 2nd opinion?

[AmyNLittleD]

I am going to try and make a long story short. I'm 28 years old with four children all breastfed. I found a lump in my left breast betwen the 3 and 4 o'clock area. I had an ultrasound done that showed nothing. Doctor made referral to surgeon. The lump is painful at times and occasionally well give me a wierd sensation in the nipple. The surgeon felt both breast and said that he felt lumps in both. Not once did he make any reference to the specific lump that I was concerned about. After his inital exam I showed him the lump I was talking about and he said it was not different than the others he felt. I don't feel the others he is talking about. the surgeon said that he did not want to do a biopsy because he didn't think there was anything to worry about. He said to keep doing monthly exams and if I noticed any changes to come back and see him. Do I trust his expertise or do I get a second opinion?

I don't really feel that you need a second opinion BUT if you are as concerned as I gather from your post then by all means get one. We are always entitled to a second opinion in any situation where we are left with questions or concerns. If you only had the Ultrasound, why not request a mammogram and then take both sets of films when and if you do see another surgeon.

I think you need a second opinion! I am 51 I have                                             implants never a moments problem... I went for an mamagram a month ago and afterwards they send me a letter stating i need to get an ultrasound.... they found a suspicious spot.
i have to go this week.  i am very scared but trying to be positive. it has been 2 weeks since this letter and just last week i noticed a dull achy pain in my breast around the 2:00 or 3:00 area and it it dull with a sometimes sharp pain.

we will pray for eachother..
God Bless
