Core needle biopsy today, now the wait...

I had a core needle biopsy done today of a 3 mm nodule in a duct directly under my left nipple. It was only discovered because I was having occasional spontaneous discharge at night (a few drops on my nightshirt in the AM), so they did an US with my mammo. Discharge was not bloody.

For others like me who are looking for info on how the biopsy went and what to expect, I'd have to say it was a very easy experience for me. I did opt to take an ativan (mild sedative), just because I'm not good with needles and I was not sure how well I'd be able to relax and ignore what was quite literally taking place under my chin without it. It did not make me noticeably groggy or out of it; quite frankly, until after the procedure was over, I didn't really notice any effects at all ... my only hint that something was different was slightly delayed reactions to things on the way home. They gave me the ativan at 11:30; the procedure started at 11:45; I was bandaged up and walking out by noon. The only pain/discomfort I felt during the entire thing was the needle that injected the local anesthetic, and that was not bad. The nurses/techs/surgeons were all great ... they talked me through the entire process and didn't do anything without telling me what was happening (I chose also to close my eyes). They took about 5-6 samples (I lost count); the first one they remarked was all fluid ... and apparently the nodule "deflated" immediately. By the end they were really searching for things to sample. The only thing I felt throughout was just pressure -- I wouldn't even describe it as uncomfortable, just noticeable. Instructions going home were to keep an icepack in my bra for 5 hours. No showering for 24 hours. No lifting or vigorous activity for 2 days. Wear a bra even when sleeping for 48 hours. So far all I've taken is a Tylenol (preemptively), and I've had no discomfort/pain so far (7 hours later).

So now I wait until the test results are available next week, and decide what to do from there. It sounds like even if the biopsy is clearly benign, it is still in my best interests to have the offending duct removed to (a) eliminate the discharge (although the doctor did say that given how much the little monster deflated/receded/was eliminated by the biopsy process, that might be enough to eliminate the discharge by itself; and (b) to be sure that the needle biopsy was completely correct and there is nothing else lurking in the duct that was not sampled. A bit of reading (I know, very dangerous...) sounds like while most of these things are benign, there is like a 1 in 10 or so chance that even a benign biopsy finding ends up finding cancerous or precancerous cells upon excision. So, better safe than sorry, I suppose. Any other advice or words of wisdom? My mom (a former nurse) is concerned that I be very proactive about this and seek multiple opinions, etc.. I fully intend to if the findings warrant it. At this point, so far I don't have a diagnosis and everything points to it being very superficial and very likely benign and a routine sort of thing. So I'm holding off on thinking about where to go for the next opinion until I know something. Am I being naive? She said its a good idea to have a 2nd pathologist look at the slides and evaluate them independently. Sounds reasonable to a point, but if I'm going to have it excised anyway, is there really any need for that?

Thanks!
