Radiologist says "looks suspicious" during biopsy
Has anyone heard of a lump biopsy being benign even after the radiologist during the procedure stated that it looked suspicious and surgery would definitely be needed? Every time I have another appointment, my anxiety becomes out of control.....

This question has come up before....you will be getting a lot of conversation about Radiologist.
My Radiologist said she was positive mine was cancer. She was right. But I can tell you that they are not 100%.

Mine also said that mine looked suspicious and that she was recommending that it come out whether is was benign or not. It did end up being cancer but I want to tell you that the anxiety is normal and especially in the beginning. If this is cancer, you will get through this. I remember that phone call confirming bc. I remember feeling like I didn't know how I could do this. That was last September, I'm still here. My best advice if you get the "phone call" like I did, get a notebook. Take it to every appointment and have it on your lap for every phone conversation because your phone will ring off the hook for a week or two scheduling your appointments. Take someone with you to your appointments. And, breathe. Once the initial fear abates and you have a "plan of attack" you will be surprised at the strength you will muster to push through the treatment & surgery. God bless you.

I’ve seen folks here have a birads 5 come out benign...nothing is in stone until the pathology is in. I take comfort in a rad that leaves absolutely nothing to chance. Try to hang in there, the waiting and wondering is awful. Keep yourself busy and focused on positives if you can. When it’s bad reach out to Netflix and marathon watch. Crossing my fingers for you!

Well I received the phone call.....IDC. Doesnt appear that lymph nodes are affected. I guess I'll know more after my breast surgeon appt on Wednesday. I dont know why I feel almost some relief. Hoping it will be somewhat uphill from here, that there will be a clear plan of attack. How are you other ladies doing?

Cindy, I know it sounds terrible but when my biopsy report came back just like your's, my radiologist friend said Congratulations to me. I was puzzled but she said It's a great thing that the lymph nodes were not affected. You have a lot of work to do now finding a trusting surgeon etc., but you will get through this. I found out I have BC before my kids' Spring break. Went on spring break with them, and got straight to work. I was determined to get through this before summer travel plans. I just finished my 3rd of 16 rad and will be done by June 21. We are here for you.
Good luck,
Mimi

Cindy - I felt the same way after I got the news...strangely (and hugely) relieved that all the anxious waiting was over and I finally an answer that I could move forward from. Time no longer stood still. I’ve seen a lot here say the same, so I assume it’s a common reaction that confirms all the “the waiting is the worst part” statements you read. I’m very sorry about your diagnosis. This community will be here for you, helping you wrap your head around it all, and fighting the good fight with you.Let us know how you’re doing....and reach out whenever you need. Big virtual hug!
