Catwoman Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I hope you're able to get the biopsy very soon and that it turns out to be a false alarm, or that it's small and completely contained and easily removed and cured. Sending you lots of hugs. I wish I could do more. :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali in OR Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Well, hoping the biopsy definitively says you have nothing to worry about. But if that's not the case, you've caught this early--you said you had a mammo just months ago. So hope you don't have to go through nasty stuff, but if you do, hoping it's easily eradicated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SparklyUnicorn Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 yup. In the boob. I have an appointment to see doctor tomorrow afternoon; feel free to remind me odds are it's nothing..... Update: Had the diagnostic mammo and u/s today. An hour after I got home I got a phone call from my doctor that they called her & they don't like it; she's arranging to send me for a biopsy. :grouphug: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandwalker Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I'm sorry about your news, but usually the biopsies are benign, so you still have the odds way on your side. They almost have to biopsy any lump, just to be safe. Best wishes and hopes 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My doc put in the requisitions just before dinner time tonight. I hope to find out by the end of this week when it will be. She did say she was reaching out to several different facilities trying to find a place with quick appointment availability. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They almost have to biopsy any lump, just to be safe. Best wishes and hopes welllllll, I was sort of hoping they'd say cyst.... I didn't ask what the BIRADS score was though but it seems like it's solid. It's super close to the chest wall and I can see how it might have been missed on a mammo. There was a lot of contorting and pulling and tugging to get that sucker on film. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarlaB Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I'm sorry. I was really hoping it would be a quickly diagnosed benign cyst. Hoping that they can get you in soon so you can know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umsami Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I'm sorry. When I had my biopsy, ice packs were the key to my healing well IMHO. My radiologist gave me two of these little mini kinds designed to fit in your bra. I always had one in the freezer and one in my bra, and would rotate them the first few days. It seemed to help a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hornblower Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 Hey everyone - so I had the core biopsy yesterday and now we wait for the results. Good news is radiologist said lymph nodes are clear Not so good news is every single person so far has said - yeah, so you'll be seeing a surgeon. Anything that grows this fast (& isn't a cyst or abscess) is going to have to come out. This sucker went from supposedly 0 (clear June mammo) to >2cm in Nov. And for the medically curious folk, the BIRADS score was a 4C "highly suspicious" so yeah, surgery is pretty definitely in the forecast. I've got a referral to an excellent breast surgeon already. I did want to update and I so appreciate all the wellwishes and thought & prayers. I've been doing pretty much ok, just too easily distracted and stress eating all.the.carbs. But I will have to Cold Turkey my laptop out of the site pretty soon because I have to study for my finals (first exam on the 6th). I'm trying to stay focused on studying. But I'll check in when I can on one of my other devices during study breaks! 32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
