• I truly wish that "someone" who understands lipedema would be involved, because I really feel there is that involvement here and may not be cancer, or maybe both, but red flags keep popping up for me that it is not what they think. They seem too Hell bent on it being cancer. I need someone with a more objective eye to look at the reports. I really need someone to have special permission to be involved. They took biopsies, do lipedema lumps ever look like cancer cells? The woman who did the testing came up with a quick answer and she said she triple checked, but she triple checked awfully fast. Results were not supposed to be done until Wednesday, or later, but she was done early on Monday after the samples were only collected late Friday. That is a red flag to me. Also, each place she took samples were where painful lumps existed.  I remember asking about lipedema in the breast and "someone" told me I needed to ask my obgyn. Well, that was several years ago and cancer would not last that long. I just want to be certain that no one is trying to force a diagnosis and lop off a breast using cancer it as an excuse, if it were an incorrect diagnosis. I need an expert and I need to make sure no one is doing anything to me out of revenge under the guise of helpfulness. They were acting suspiciously in Daly City, plus, why did Dr. Z's exam come up with nothing, when I was being told by everyone else it was "really, really bad?" A veteran OBGYN is not going to miss, "really, really bad!" That does not jibe in my mind." It totally felt like they WANTED it to be cancer, no other diagnosis. Fishy. I need a specialist involved. No doubt about it. The pain in my breast coincided with terrible pain I had in the other parts of my body where lumps existed. I could barely walk and the pain was excruciating. After the breast pain stopped hurting, the leg and thigh pain subsided too. I was taking masses of ALA, Vit C and aspirin and pain cream. I had begun taking my renter's antibiotic and it had seemed to help, but Dr. Z would not give me an Rx for and antibiotic to see if it would take the rest of the issue away.  I truly believe what happened was somehow an infection that affected the lumps only on the right side of my body. They are subsiding with the pain and I believe the size has decreased. I think we may have hit on a possible cure(?) for the painful lumps. Remember I said we should biopsy the lumps? Could they possibly be mistaken for cancer under a microscope? Please don't let them force a diagnosis out of "helpful" revenge, or to expedite things. I do not want to be mutilated merely to give someone their jollies, or whatever reason. I think there are enough red flags to be cautious. I need the expert and one I trust, to get a special dispensation to help in my case. K, or DA, or both. I am skeptical about the timing on this. Too close to the end. This seems like a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation. I don't know what to do, but I do know that I am not going to sacrifice my life to people who may have false loyalties of revenge against me.
