[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 698234, member: 18958"] You did the right thing following up with this new doctor. There are benign things it can be. I had a cyst, for example. I had to have surgery to have it removed. I know a man that had such a lump but closer to his armpit, they biopsied it--it was benign--and they still do not know what it is, but nobody is real worried. But I know the fear. I have felt it--especially when they told me there was a fifty percent chance I had lung cancer--because there was a nodule on my lung. I was beside myself. There is no other way through this except through it. This new doctor is being responsible and thorough. It does not mean the other doctors were wrong. They get to know by their experience just which growths are or are not malignant. When I got to the Pulmonologist he knew the nodule was benign just by looking at the pictures. But he still for 5 years did follow-up. That is what this new doctor is doing. Careful follow-up. It is most probably for his own risk-management. [/QUOTE]
