Can't stop obsessing over the aches and new lumps after biopsy

TennisPink

Hi everyone ,

I think I am going to go insane because I feel so much awful stuff by my tumor now. Before, it was a lump that I felt if I pushed down on it. I have had 2 biopsies : the original tumor was an ultrasound guided core biopsy a month ago and 2 weeks later after an MRI showed a tiny mass under the main tumor, I had another one (but under an MRI) which was even more painful than the first one. The 2cm tumor is IDC and the little one is fortunately a DCIS.

Now I am 2 weeks past the last biopsy (a month past the first one) and the breast is supposedly healing but the lump is rock hard and feels much bigger. The lump has a dull ache. And there is some weird small lump at the top of my armpit that I can move around.

The surgeon said the MRI did not show any noticeable activity by the lymph nodes but I am freaking out all the time that they missed it or something is horribly wrong. At the same time, I am working with a well respected medical team (like most of us here) and I feel like they would be getting me into surgery faster if something was wrong. I am not having surgery until May.

Anyone else paranoid like me??? Or maybe someone has been through the paranoid phase and found it was really all ok.

Thanks....
