Well, the mammogram/ultrasound found: a hypoechoic mass in the area that mostly appears well circumscribed. Although this mass has a more benign appearance, because it is papable biopsy is recommended.
So, that sounds pretty good I think. The MRI I had done was useless, it was not the right area, no contrast and in the wrong sequences, so that did not help at all. My doctor wants me to find a surgeon and have it removed rather than a biopsy first. He thinks whatever it is is pushing on a nerve and that is what is causing so much pain. So, surgery it is. I really hate the thought of that, but what can you do. At least the pain will go away, and the surgery should be quick and easy. Thank you so much for all the prayers and thoughts, it really helped me through this long wait.
