Ksman,
Thanks for that. Your comments are always greatly appreciated.
Regarding the Nolvadex, every forum I’ve read through pretty much suggests this. Due to my depression over the gyno, I’m pretty desperate and willing to feel like shit for a few weeks/months if it means reversing my gyno. But, you mention it could make my E2 worse, which scares me.
If I’m being overly cautious, it’s still wrong to continue the nolvadex for at least a week, maybe at 20mg?
Also, when you say gyno friendly, do you mean that in a “you don’t get gyno” way, or a “you will get gyno with these levels” way?
Thanks!
EDIT: Also, how far can breast tissue spread from gyno? Is it possible to feel breast tissue and “lumps” all the way up near the top of your chest closer to your collar bone than the nipple, as well as closer to your armpit than your nipple? Or are these lymph nodes and “fat”?
Well, I got my mammogram and ultrasound sound results back, and it didn’t find anything, nada, zilch. I’m just very confused what the lumps are on both sides, with the right side having the same lump in the same place, just twice as big, if it’s not breast tissue, a cyst, or gland?
My PCP, who ordered the tests, thought it was going to be cystic gyno, but the radiologist said she didn’t find anything, and says it must be fat (she didn’t actually feel the lump herself so she is just guessing)
None of this really makes sense to me. How can I have a large lump, confirmed by multiple doctors as not being “normal” and it not show up on an ultrasound or mammogram?
What the hell are these lumps that are undetectable? I assume the mammogram detects any and all breast tissue, which means whatever the lump is, it’s not causing breast tissue growth, is that accurate?
Any gyno experts out there that can help me better understand what may be going on? The radiologist was pretty dismissive about it, and I have yet to formally speak to the ordering doctor, but he will say the same thing. Ugh, not sure if I’m relieved of now even more stressed about random unknown lumps on my chest causing a breast-like appearance
