Trying not to Dr. Google :(
Anyone with similar results?
I'm thinking of paying for a breast MRI while I wait for biopsy. Not sure if that will shed light on this.
Waiting sucks.
Good luck to everyone else waiting.

hi Jackie, yes the waiting does suck. It's the hardest part I think. Having to wait an entire month for the biopsy sucks too. Don't panic ok - in other words don't go there until you get there. I wish I had listened to those words when I was diagnosed, but remember 80% of biopsies turn out to be benign. I will keep my fingers crossed for you. Oh and Dr. Google will freak you out. A lot of that info is outdated and flat out wrong. I should have stayed off Dr. Google - in fact my hubby asked me to step away from the computer because I caused myself a lot of grief.
Hang in there. Is there anyway you can see if you can get the biopsy moved up? You can tell them it is causing you a lot of anxiety. They might try for you. Hang in there. There is a lot of helpful ladies on this board that are super supportive.

Hi Jackie, That is a long time to wait and it would drive anyone crazy. It might not be worth it to pay for an MRI since biopsy is the only way to get an absolute confirmation that it is cancer. Some here this week had a benign result from a birads 5 ultrasound so you never know. I would push for the biopsy to be done sooner if you can. Maybe they have a cancellation list? hang in there.

Hi ladies I have a question.. This past month has been so crazy! I am having clear sticky discharge from my left breast, mammo, mri, and 1 ultrasound came back inconclusive. So 3 days ago I go in for a ductogram, the doc couldn't get into the duct so he decided to do one more ultrasound. In the middle of it he says " There it is right there we're doing a biopsy right now." So of course I panic..and not a needle biopsy, I'm not sure what it was called but he cut open my breast. He really wouldn't say much so I guess my question is should I be worried due to his urgency? I already was in the first place but this made it worse. I'm doing my best not to think about it and stay positive.. Looking for some input
