Suggest Treatment For A Lump On The Back

Hi I have had malignant melanoma 10 years ago with multiple mole biopsies, breast cancer with treatment three years ago, uterine cancer with complete hysterectomy two years ago. Since my cancer, I now have high blood pressure treated with medication, hypothyroidism treated with medication and B12 injections. Most recently, I noticed a lump on my lower back/spine area. My doctor said to watch it; she thought it felt spongy and may need to be biopsied if it continues to grow. Should I wait or have it done immediately?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have history of malignant melanoma, breast cancer and uterine cancer. Now you have lump. It can be soft tissue tumour or it can be metastatic tumour from any of your malignancy. You should not wait. Go for biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
