Waiting for ultrasound guided core biopsy

Sorry you are going thru this, Shaazara.  I remember that stomach churning feeling very well.  When I got my 'call-back', I tried not to worry....it was my first 3D mammo, so I told myself it was picking up something that was probably there for a long time, but wasn't visible on 2D.  I only had to wait 2 days for my diagnostic mammo.  The mammo tech did 2 views, then sent me back to the waiting area so the radiologist could look at the views.  She came back and said he wanted MORE views, so that was done, and she sent me back to the waiting area.  Then the fellow came in, introduced herself and told me they needed  to do an ultrasound.  Okay, getting a little nervous.  The fellow started with the US, and was taking a really long time, and apologized to me and said she needed to get the attending to come take a look.  By this time I was shaking and trying very hard to not cry.  The attending came in and took over the wand and looked for a long time (or it seemed a long time in my heightened state of anxiety).  Then he explained that they saw something called architectural distortion on the mammo, but could not find it on US, but saw a small intraductal mass on US that was not visible on mammo!  The mass got a BI-RADS of 3, he felt sure it was benign, but the AD got a score of 4 and needed to be biopsied.  We set the biopsy up for the following week, and he cautioned me against doing any googling of AD.  So of course I googled it, and he was right to caution me because what I found scared me to death.  My stomach was in knots from then on.  First of all I was terrified of the biopsy procedure itself, because I have a very low pain tolerance.  That fear was unfounded as I experienced no pain at all during the actual biopsy.  Then the waiting for the results....it was impossible to think of anything else.  I was SURE I had invasive breast cancer.  Was an incredibly long 8 days of waiting.  They had promised me that I would get a phone call within 7 days.  On day 8, I called them.  They said the results were in, but the person who calls to inform women of their results was out sick!!!!  I asked who this person was, and was told it was the same lady who does the scheduling of appointments!!!!   I told them someone needed to look at the results and call me, that I was going crazy with anxiety!  So within half an hour, a resident called me back and informed me all the samples were benign.  Sorry, didn't mean for this to turn into a novel, just wanted to let you know that all of us here on these forums have been thru that same stomach churning that you are experiencing.  I will give you the same advice everyone here does....try to stay busy, and remember that about 80% of biopsies are benign.  Good luck to you, and please post and let us know what your results are.
