Sore Breast. Have Anxiety Disorder, Phobia. History Of Diffused Large B Cell Lymphoma In Tonsil. Scan, Tests Clear. Possible Relapsed Cancer?

Hi I had diffuse large B cell lymphoma in my tonsil 8 years ago..I have been clear and deemed cured..to you believe in a cure of that disease, however I had a sore breast yesterday and my Dr. sent me to a surgeon to I asked if he could guarantee I wasn't full of cancer as I have an anxiety disorder and phobias and my cancer was missed by 13 dr's. in the beginning..he said he could not guarantee it....I have had scans and all is clear blood is good..why would a surgeon say this to me................it has tramatized me so badly...........do you think I should report him

HI,
Thanks for writing in.

If it is acute soreness of breast since yesterday then it may not be a cancer. However any breast condition needs to be examined by a surgeon and treated accordingly. Acute sore breast generally does not need any immediate mammography because of pain. If there is persistent doubt, an ultrasound scan of breasts may be done after a course of antibiotics if necessary.

Hope this helps
