Guest guest Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 My 19 year old daughter, who is far from home at college, found a hard lump a tiny bit larger than a marble in her breast towards the middle part of the body. She has no family doctor. Who would she need to see to find out if it is cancer? She believes in alternative treatments but said there was no way she could eliminate all sugar from her diet. Any suggestions of the best way to determine if it is a lump that is not a problem or if she needs to get serious about changing her diet? Are there certain tests doctors are likely to want to do that should be avoided? What should she know to be prepared to deal with who ever examines her? Thanks, Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Hi Karen, I would suggest that she see any doctor, maybe even an OB-GYN because they tend to deal a lot with women and breast issues. She should see someone as soon as possible and have it evaluated. A lump is not always cancer, but a medical professional should make that call. Find out what it is first, then go from there. I've had breast lumps and have had several ultrasounds and mammograms and am only 31. However, it's best to be safe than sorry.
