Re: breast biopsy

Shari-

I say have the biopsy now. What is the point if there is something

suspicious to wait 3-4 months? Why would they wait? I say find out now what

it is a

rest assured or if it is something to deal with, we start dealing with it.

Why let it grow/spread or whatever.

Keep a positive attitude! Everything will work out.

Dear Shari,

I have no answers for you, but I wanted you to know someone in cyberspace cares

- try to be brave - you already have a lot on your plate. I think I would make

the same choice as you - the needle biopsy - to save 3 months of worrying about

something that may not be as bad as it seems now.

With much hope, Debbie

I went for my annual mammogram today. Everytime I have one I also

have to have a sonogram with it because I have alot of cysts. It

looks like this time it is more than a cyst. The radiologist came

in while I was still laying on the exam table and said I had

something suspicious and its not a cyst. He said I could come back

in 3 months or have a needle biopsy. He did say it had blood supply

going to it. To me that means a tumor. It is very small I think he

said 4mm or 4cm I'm not sure. He said it is tiny. Now needless to

say I am very upset about this. My Dr. should recieve it next week,

and I think I will probably have the biopsy. He said it was my

choice. If that isn't enough my Husband just got a promotion and we

are being relocated from Kansas to Tulsa, OK. We just put our house

on the market and everything is happening so fast. I was already

worried about finding a new Hem/Onc and now this to worry about. I

guess what has scared me is him saying it has a blood supply going

to it. If anyone knows what that means I would appreciate some

input. I'm terrified.
