Hi,

 had a very similar situation to you. Well after 13 years of biopsies and numerous breast issues I have a lot of experience. For one of my many suspicious biopsies, I had to have "twilight" because of the location of it. It was too difficult to do it in the traditional manner. If it is a microcalcification,  it is sometimes better to remove a larger section. On your radiology report it should state the findings and the number. Did you get to look at your report? It is easy to think the worst case scenario when you are currently surrounded by people going thru it. Try to stay positive and remember in about 85 percent of cases it is benign. I found that talking to people and reading a lot helped to calm my fears.

Take care,

Nancy

I am, so delighted i found , Breast cancer.org, everything I want, and need to know is here. The women, here are amazing! I'm sitting here, and amazed at myself, really, I'm relaxing here on the sofa, looking once again, at this site. I alway's feel forarmed is forwarned! The 17 th of Jan. i felt my breast very sore, but paid no attention to it , next day, it was still sore, come the Monday morning, i rang for appointment with my local doctor, there was a cancellation, I could pinpoint the lump,and she could feel it, she said not to worry, it might just be a cyst, she sent a referal to the hospital anyway. On the Wednsday, I received, a phone call, from the hospital, with an appointment for that Friday(23 rd).Everything flying along, Saw the doctor, he was sending me for a mammogram, so off I went up to the Radiology Dept, had mammograms,she then asked me to have more intense ones, back in I go, I could see the lumps myself on the screen, two I didn't know about, so she said she would like to do an ultrasound next, so in we go next door, to have them, ok, she said, I would like to preform a biopsy,I was taken aback!I said Now,she said while we have you on the table! So I had 3 biopsies done one, a needle,the cyst, the fluid was clear ,then she done 2 surgical ones, she gave me a letter for the doctor downstairs,he just said, they would know the results, next week,so tomorrow(Friday) is d day. Wasn't that quick? I think it has helped, that I wasn't waiting long,It's called Triple Assessment,all done in the one day!I'm imagining, a senario, where theres Benign, to the left, and malignant, to the right,and I am walking down, the Yellow Brick Road, not thinking of eather side, its keeping me calm! Thanks for reading,!
