Hi All,
Our newest de-lurker talks about a client with fibroids.  She says that her
Dr discovered a new lump, but does not want to investigate until after
pregnancy.  Excuse me?????  If there is a history of breast cancer in this
womans family (and even if there isn't) a new lump should be investigated
right away.  God forbid that it turns out to be a cancerous lump and the
woman goes thru the pregnancy, only to find out that she has full blown
breast cancer right after delivery and her chances of survival just dropped
to 25% because she waited too long.  My advice to this woman would be, check
it out, and with a different Dr.  One who take each new lump seriously.  I
don't know much about fibrous breasts, and I don't know if new lumps are a
common thing in fibrous breasts, but to not investigate simply because she
is pregnant seems negligent to me.
