Hello
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Please can you describe the lump or node better - the one in your lower abdominal area ?
The low estrogen level is normal at menopause or peri menopause.
The breast lump warrants a mammogram.
Addisons does lead to hair loss.
All the best.
Please feel free to discuss further.

The lower lump is on left side just to the side of my pelvic bone. Feels like a lymph node but has now been there for 9 weeks. Did take a round of antibiotics but it had no change. Glad / sad to hear hair loss can be from Addisons. I will forward any other lab results as they come I . I was on the miniville patch 0.1 mg when lab was drawn. Also just as a little more I for I did have a melanoma removed from my left hip 4 months ago but was assured the went to the margins.

Hi again.
Are you menopausal and on HRT ?
Then there is no sense in getting estrogen levels measured.
WIth the history of melanoma , please have the node looked into ASAP, and biopsied too.
Take care.

Thanks so much, I sure will have it checked. Went through menopause 5 years ago when my addisons happened. I think they checked my level due to sudden hair loss and flushing with night sweats. I will call for appt now. Have a good day
