Biopsy on Friday

Thank you. It's good to hear that the biopsy wasn't that bad. They told me about the procedure when I had the sonogram, but I didn't really hear what they said. I was sort of freaking out.

I haven't paid much attention to breast health before this. It is a wake-up call. Either way, they talked like I would have to be more closely monitored than the average woman.

I had the biopsy and it wasn't too bad--mostly pressure and pushing, and tiny bit of burning when they took the samples. They told me that mostly "these things" turn out benign and I shouldn't "fret or anything."

I am glad its over.

Thank you for your encouragement. I still can't help but worry The doctor radiologist never spoke with me directly except to explain the procedure. Most of the positive "vibes" I am getting are through the techs, who--at least in one case--were speaking for the radiologist. But I do think the "oval and circumscribed" shape of my mass is a good sign, so I tend to believe them. Also, the first tech told me that I "would know" if they thought there was anything to really worry about. Perhaps the radiologist would've have come to talk to me in that case.

I am going to a very large and respected hospital, so I do have a lot of faith in their professionalism.

I guess I will just have to wait. But I got the impression that I might have to do MRI's every 6 months. I am concerned they are going to find all kinds of things that need investigating and I will have to go through this whole process often.

My results came in today. My lump is B9! I have to go back in 6 months, as they are going to watch me more closely in the future. Thank you, all you sweet ladies, for supporting me why I waited and worried. You are all so courageous and so sweet to help others. God bless you!

BTW, they didn't tell me what it actually is, probably a fibroadednoma. But I am sure I will get copies of test results in not too long.
