no doctors are not "obligated" do do what you want. like a biopsy that they feel may be unnecessary. your only course of action is to see a different surgeon plead your case and get a second opinion. surgeons do not want to just randomly remove or biopsy masses that may be cystic fibrocystic or clearly not suspicious of cancer. you have a cancer fear since these are your breasts. the only ones that you feel. the surgeon may have years of experience examining thousands of lumpy breasts and reading many mammograms and does not share in your fear or concern. you cannot force a surgeon into the operating room no matter how much you demand.
why wont doctors do what i ask. doctors always give me the run around on treatment that i know i need. felling lumps in breast tingling when cold sensitive to touch etc. mamograms. have been done and other tests but i have to fight to get them every six months. he says well the lumps has not grown or other excuse but why not do a biopsy before its too late? are doctors obligated to do what i ask is necessary?
