Question: I have had 3 lipomas and two were removed (on my back). One was huge and the other near it was growing. Since then I have discovered other lipomas or fleshy masses on my arm and just above one knee. To confound this or should I say to worry me I have had a ductal carcinoma in situ removed from my left breastfeeding 8 years ago and ray treatment but nothing in the sentinel node thank goodness. Years before discovering the tumor I found what I thought to be a tiny lipoma near my left scapula on the same side of my body as the carcinogenic dcis. That was 10 years or a bit less ago. It felt so like all the other lipomas that I didn't even think to ask the beast cancer people to check it (ultrasound). It is slowly growing like the ones on my back did and feels round and movable and like fat unlike my cancer lump which was harder and more irregular. Now I'm due for my annual mammogram and ultrasound and think I have to tell the medicos about that lump near the left scapula. If it is cancer I'm not bothering with chemo or other as I won't take on a fight with metastatic CA. Can't be bothered.
Any suggestions?
