A member asked:

I'm having a breast cancer scare. can you offer some advice?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sure: Be aggressive: get to the bottom of this asap. Time works against you when you have an uncertain diagnosis & are scared. Get a definitive answer: if you don't, see a breast specialist. Walk before you run: most of these scares are false alarms. Bring a friend: support helps a lot. I hope it all turns out well.
