Suggest Treatment For Lumps In Breast

Daughter who is 29, has 2 lumps in her left breast...a large one on the center top of her breast and a small hard one to the left of the areola. She got an ultrasound....the doctor told her it could just be hard breast tissue or could be a cystic fibroid. They told her to make another appointment in 6 months for follow up or come in sooner if there is any changes or pain. They did not suggest a biopsy. Is this sound advise? Or should she demand a biopsy?

Hi,Dear,
Thanks for the query to HCM.I studied your problem in depth and I understood your concerns.
Treatment for the lumps in your breast-left-In my opinion both these 2 lumps are part of the-Fibroadenosis and does not appear to be Fibro-adenomas even,for which your doctor rightly advised you to re-examine after 6 mths time.
I would advise you to have a Second Surgeon opinion,as your are worried much.
You are quite young to have cancerous tumour and so you should be watchful for any increase in size of the lump-which are not malignant / or benign type,as they are caused due to hormonal imbalance and breast tissue responses to the imbalance of the cyclical hormonal changes.
and Hence for further treatment I would advise you to Consult second ER Surgeon , who would treat it accordingly.
This advise is based on the facts from the history you give and needs further clinical check.
Hence I would advise you to check with ER Surgeon.
So don't build up wrong concepts and create more psychic complications in you which would increase risks and costs to you.
Hope this would relieve your problem.
Welcome for any more query in this regard to HCM.
Write good resume and Click thanks if you feel satisfied with my advise.
Have a Good Day.
