Hello all. I had a CT scan (for my abdomen) in Feb/March 2006 that showed a mass in my left breast. They recommended an ultrasound which I had on March 17th. The results were 1.1 x 0.9cm solid mass without homogeneous internal echos and without significant degree of posterior acoustic enhancement. (I only partially understand this.) I have been really sick with other issues since then and have not been able to have it biopsied which is what the first radiologist suggested. I saw a new doctor today and mentioned this just so he'd know about it. He is sending me to a surgeon on Thursday to have it checked out again. I did have another ultrasound in May while hospitalized to see if it was changing. The size was recorded at 7x9x10mm. (I assume this is pretty close to the same size when converted to cm.) Anyway, my question is does this sound typical of a fibroadenoma? The doctors can feel it sometimes...I have never been able to find it but they say it's at 3 o'clock in the left breast. I hate to keep going to have this checked out if they are going to keep saying not to worry about it right now. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer! oh and I'm only 27! Thanks!
