    I just got my biopsy done today. The anesthesia was so painful and the procedure isn’t pretty , but I would recommend it just to be safe

    When she said that they leave the marker in the breast, my immediate next thought was "does it set off metal detectors?" and she immediately answered it which leads me to believe that she gets that question a lot😂

    When I was told that the Titanium clip would be left in permanently, my first thought was why didn’t you tell me before you put it in. I react badly to everything. I’m still in pain weeks later and I can still feel the breast lump.

    My radiologist clipped everywhere but there the SMALL pea size module was. Also requested not to have clips or remove lymph nodes. Now have a tender, deformed looking breast.

    I had a biopsy 1 week ago. They sent my sample off for further study. I got my results back but I don't quite understand them. Help please.

    Going in tomorrow morning for a biopsy. I dont understand the 20% comment about coming back cancer, my ultrasound bi-rad score was 4 which means I have a 30% chance of my biopsy coming back as positive for cancer. Anyway, I am not sure, I’m just so anxious about it all!

    @@griffithswife1704 it was non cancerous. Biopsy was very easy, no pain and quick. Took 3 days for results to come back. Just a fibroadenoma. I do have to come back for mri check in May (6 months from when I had biopsy). I am now at higher risk. Fun fun. But yah, good to know I am cancer free. Good luck to you.
