Guest guest Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 I saw the surgeon this afternoon 8/4. He showed me the x-rays and pointed it all out and compared to the ones from two years ago. He thinks the " spots " do not look much bigger than before, however they are much clearer. He told me that if it was cancer (and then said about three times " I am not saying it is " ) that is was very slow growing. But he said he was not a radiologist and that when a radiologist told him that something has to come out, he agrees that it has to come out. Still, he gave me three options. First to do nothing and have another mammo to compare in six months or so. The second option I cannot remember. The third was to have the stereotactic bx, which is what I am going to do. It is scheduled for 9:30 AM 8/13...Friday the 13th!! He made me feel good. So did all of you. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
