I discovered that I had a lumpLumps in the breasts in my breast in Oct 06. I went in for a mammogram and ultrasound which revealed at least 12 fybroids. My doctor sent out the generic letter stating that they were determined to be benignBenign ear cyst or tumor Benign positional vertigo. The only information I gathered was discussed with the technician regarding diet and basic information. My doctor did not attend the procedure which I u/s to be commonCommon cold. However, I called for a f/u appt to discuss options and findings and I was told that I would need to get a mammogram every year and no further f/u was needed. It was after a general papPap smear Pap smears and cervical cancer checkup that my Dr. felt the lumpLumps in the breasts, but dismissed it when I said that my breast had this consistency since I stopped nursing my doctor (she nursed well into age 4 early 5).
I became more concerned and called back to the office and asked should I have a mammogram, upon urging and calling back, I was then scheduled for the mammogram. I have breast pain, some times more pressing then others. The technician only checked the left breast but stated that if I had that many in the left then I probably had them in the right???? Am I being overly anxious, too concerned. I now have numbnessNumbness and tingling in my feet and hands and I feel tired. My regular doctor attributed the sluggishness to my Beta Thal Minor (spelling may be incorrect) and re-prescribed I-car. Some days I feel so tired, I take 2-3. I don't feel as sluggish when I take them. My level was 11.74 on yesterday she feels comfortable with. I am Anemic......could any of this be related to the fybroids....should I be taking something or seeking further guidance?
