Patti,

I went to our family dr on a Fri. He sent me for a mammo and said we needed a

surgeon. We told him we didn't have one and he said I will get the one that did

my wifes surgery for you. He called him, we met the surgeon that afternoon

around 5:30. He checked the mammo and said I needed a biopsy and said follow me

and he did the biopsy in the ER. I had my results on Mon. morning.

I will keep you in my prayers.

Hugs

Dr Appointment tomorrow

Well I finally get to see the surgeon tomorrow. I guess how it works is the

surgeon wants to do his own exam to see if it's palpable; looks at

everything himself and then decides what kind of biopsy he is going to do.

His case manager said either ultrasound or steri something or other.

I should walk out of the office with appointments and plan in hand. I am

assuming that the " plan " would be whats going to happen up to getting the

results. I don't know. I know it's only been since Monday afternoon that

they saw this mass, but it seems like things are taking so long. The

impression I had when I left the radiologists office was I would be back in

already for the biopsy, seems I am wrong. Was I wrong for thinking a biopsy

could come that fast? Is that fast? Now I am going to have to wait until

the end of next week because the radiology dept only does biopsies on

Thursday and Friday's. Then something like 2-4 business days for the biopsy

results.

The plus side, I have gotten the surgeon that I wanted to see. He's very

busy, but he is the one who treated my mother so he knows our history and I

alreay have a repoure with him.

I just want to know one way or the other. Patience is not my strong point.

Thanks for listening

nne, Wow that was fast. Saw the surgeon today. He believes it to be

benign but with family history he is going to do a ultrasound guided biopsy.

When the results come back negative he will call me on the phone and tell

me. IF they come back positive he will ask me to come into the office and

bring someone with. But when it comes back negative he is going to put me

on some antibiotics for 3 weeks and if the lump still has not gone away he

wants to go in and remove it. My biopsy is scheduled for next thrusday at

3 pm and will have the results by the following Wednesday.

Thank you for your prayers

Patti
