CHART NOTE
The patient is a 68-year-old female looking much older than her stated age, who noted a mass in her left breast. The radiologist felt that this was clear-cut evidence that there was a carcinoma of the left breast. Blood pressure was 180/90. In the left breast and the midportion of the breast, roughly behind the nipple, a mass estimated to be 2 to 2.5 cm in size is palpable. This was quite firm, no axillary nodes could be palpated. The alternatives of a lumpectomy and radiation have been discussed with the patient, and she prefers not to consider them.
