If your sister found a lump in her breast what would be your advice?

Go see the specialist ASAP. Might be a cancer lymph. Be careful. Never underestimate.

I'm not sure what to advise you, but if possible you should see an oncologist as soon as possible.

I would find another docotr who can get the mamogram done sooner. My mom gets one every year and she usually can get an apppointment the next day.

I would defintly have her try to see another doctor. It could be nothing and hopefuly it is however I think she should try and get an appointment as soon as possbile just incase because the ealier they find it the better. Good luck I hope it turns out to be nothing.

Go to a doctor who thinks it is as important as she does, a lump is nothing to take lightly! The sooner she gets seen "in case" the better.

To be honest i would write a letter to my sisters g.p to express my concerns, I would also talk to your sister because if she can see how upset you are it may encouage her to push this on a bit I am so sorry for your news and i would like to wish your sister some luck on this.

IF IT WAS MY SISTER I WOULD ENCOURAGE HER TO GO GET CHECKED BY A DOCTOR, AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! RECYCLESPIRIT

My mom knew about one of hers for at least 3 months before she got in for an appointment. Hers turned out just fine.

I'd change doctors or call a GYN for advice..shouldn't take that long.

found a new doctor

If you can find a private clinic that does mamogram, book an appointment as early as possible. A friend of mine did that on her own because her doctor was slow in getting her an appointment. Thank god she was okay. But you can do a search on the net and find a clinic nearby you and help your sister. I will say an extra prayer for your sister. God bless you for being such a caring sibling. good luck.

Tell her to go to another gynocologist. They always schedule my mammogram that same day. She can go to the hospital and request the test if she has insurance. If not for sure she needs to change Drs. or call her DR. and demand to have an appotinment. She is a paying cutomer and has these rights.

Yes, I would try to find another doctor to get a mamogram sooner. I just had one done recently and there was no one there. I was the ONLY patient there getting a mamogram. I suspect with some calling around and persistance your sister could get a mamogram sooner. Let us know.

drag her to the doctor by the collar or hair if you have to... just to have a peace of mind...

I hope that by this time your sister has had the mammogram and found to be okay. However if it was me, then I would not be waiting around for the Doctor to make an appointment for me. Either I would make it myself, or get another Doctor who would get this arranged more speedily. In general it is not the Doctor personally who makes the appointment, but one of his staff. It might turn out to be nothing serious, but if there is a problem then she needs to know as soon as possible after finding the lumps so a decision can be made. No person should have to wait for something that has the potential to be serious.

Sometimes doctors can pretty much tell what the lump is just by feeling. Her doctor may not think the lumps are anything but cysts, and therefore he's not in any hurry to have it checked out. I would ask him staight out why he wasn't pushing things any faster. If she isn't satisfied with him reply, she could look for another doctor and get a 2nd opinion.

Have your sister stalk her doctor. Do not mess around! Cancer is serious. It might not be cancer it could be horomone related but it is better to have it checked out immediately. If this doctor does not respond go to another one. Make sure they know how scared she is!

If my sister found a lump on heron her boob and the dr was slow getting a n appoiment for a mamagram I would push my sister to call every hour of evrey day until she got one. It's possible that she can call and get one herself.

My adcise is to have it checked and properly diagnosed by a doctor. there are certain lumps that are harmless. But since your sister had an appointment already but took too long, then find another doctor. I think such things should be checked by someone reliable and not someone who takes a month to even schedule here. Time is of the essence when it comes to this things.

Well, I would advice her to get a checkup done and if necessary go for a biopsy.A lump doesn't always mean the worst.It could be just a lymph nodule that has swelled.So, she could be at ease once the checkup is done.
