I have a small lump in a breast that has thickening tissue moving upwards from it towards my collarbone. The sonogram showed nothing but I know they aren't too accurate on detecting breast cancer.My Doctor want to just remove the lump but I am worried about what will happen to the tissue that is thickening.In the future I worry another dr. will contribute it to scar tissue although it spreads about 3 inches upwards from the lump.I don't know what to do.The dr. says he doesn't know what will happen to the thickening tissue in the future(if it can become cancer) but he doesn't think it should be removed.Can someone who knows about these things advise me? Should I see a dermatologist?I'm seeing a military dr. and he seems to be good but I am worried since cancer runs in my family and i recently had a lump removed from the other breast that was abnormal but not cancer yet.Also, the previous sonogram showed nothing on this other lump although it was abnormal.
