What do you think?

I am currently scheduled for a 6 month mammo January 22nd and then a f/u appointment aftwards with my MO. This is 6 months out from dx. At that time...they found two spots on the mammo on my left breast---neither were large enough to be felt. One was "concerning" more than the other. So they biopsied the one spot the same time they biopsied the one on the right. Which is what turned out to be cancer. The left side came back as a fibroadenoma. I don't remember anyone saying much about this 2nd lump....just that it was "not as concerning" at the ones they wanted to biopsy.

So fast forward to today...I can feel a lump in the same general area that the biopsy was completed. Both spots where close, but neither where large enough to actually be felt.

So do I call and get in sooner? Or just wait until I am scheduled in January? If I go in, it means an 8 hour drive one way...spend the night with family ect. It's more than just making an appointment.

I know fibroadenoma's can grow...but not how fast. Are they fast growing? It was July 18th that I had the original mammo, so we are looking at 4 months out. Seems to be the size of a pea/jelly bean maybe?

Hmmmm.....thoughts?

Is it an 8 hour drive if you wait? If it is the same drive anyway, I'd bump it up if you can

Ya, it is the same either way. Good point...I guess in my head I was thinking it would make it 2 trips instead of 1. lol

My appointment is with the MO, I'm assuming that's who I would call now. Not my OB (who sent me for a mammo in the begining) or BS?

I would call MO and/or BS.
