At the last medical check-up,
a tumor was found on the breast ultrasound.
So we started with palpation on the re-examination.
The doctor seemed to identify it,
but I had no clue. There seemed to be nothing to me.
Then, I did both ultrasound and mammography.
I thought mammograms could not be performed while breastfeeding,
but it was done.
Consequently,
It wasn’t cancer…
So I asked,
“The doctor at the checkups said the risk for cancer was fifty-fifty.
Should I get a biopsy test just in case?”
Doctor;
“Not necessary. You are still breastfeeding so not to worry for now.
Please come back after six months for a follow-up.”
It was the same feedback as what mammary gland specialists said to me before.
I sure felt relieved.
