So - LCIS dx in May of 2012.  PBM 10/12 with implant reconstruction 11/19.......life is good.

Now a new mass has formed around the area of the first excision biopsy.  Back to the OR I go tomorrow.

NOTHING is ever simple.

    Holding out my hand to you, Audrey. So awful to go through even more of these 'what ifs'. We'll be here no matter what happens: you will not be alone.

    Thanks all for the positive energy and warm thoughts!

    Just found out my sister is having a core needle biopsy tomorrow.  Her rather callous radiologist stated he "thinks it's cancer".  I told her to breathe, and know that it's only for sure cancer when the pathology report is back. (My radiologist LATER confided that he also thought my original lump was cancer but did not want to alarm me until the pathologists spoke.  I like my guy better)

    Well all, I learned that Alloderm tissue matrix + existing scar tissue can = proliferation of the scar tissue!  Will know for sure early next week.  Back at work today.

     

    Sister's biopsy went well.....my hint to distract herself by watching the ultrasound screen seemed to work.  Second radiologist MUCH better than 1st, but he did tell her whatever it is it will need to come out (I will flip if she has a myofibroblastoma like I did......benign but needed to come out).

     

    THANK YOU ALL for being here.  What a great group of folks ....we're never alone!

    XO,

    Audrey

    I am so happy for your benign biopsy! I hope all goes well with your sister. Sounds like you really dodged a bullet and made the right choice with your PBMs.

    Thanks again for being here all!

    Leaf - I was thinking the same thing.  Had the doc not removed the wrong "cyst" first........I never would have known.

    Silver linings in every dark cloud.  :)
