Have you scheduled an exploratory surgery or an ultrasound, as wel;l as pre-op blood work?

I know that if we had one with a lump which could be felt like that we'd think seriously about first doing the blood work to see if it indicates any considerations (as when Ashling's pre-op CBC w Chemistry Panel showed that something more serious than insulinoma was present so we knew in her case not to do surgery.

The net step would be decide between imagining as with ultrasound or just going to surgery.
