So I had the needle biopsy yesterday. I was all ready to go in to surgery today. The nurse even called me this morning and said to come on in and they'd give me the results and do the surgery. We were on the way and the Dr. called. The needle biopsy showed no cancer, but they still have some questions (?) and I need a formal surgical biopsy. So-- my surgery is cancelled for now. I have to have this suspicious area of my breast removed, tested, fully heal. Then in a few months I can revisit the tummy tuck/ breast lift.
My head is spinning. I have a lot of questions. I'm not understanding why I need to have it removed if it's not cancer? But I am seeing another dr. tomorrow and I have a referral for a surgeon to remove the tumor (they're calling it a tumor). So. Not what I had wanted or expected. But such is life. I trust God's plan, and I pray that his plan for me doesn't include breast cancer at age 36.
I will keep you updated as I know more

Hey, I had somewhat similar issues around my mammogram, although I didn't need a surgical biopsy ultimately. I have to say that whoever said biopsies were painless was full o' lies! I have my fingers crossed for you. Do you know what the BIRADS was on the mass?

Day of Surgery? I hope!

I had my biopsy yesterday. Assuming it's good news, I will have my surgery today at 1:00. This weekend was incredibly emotional, worrying about all the what-ifs. Im praying I get good news today and can put this scare behind me. Thank you for your prayers! Hopefully next update will be after I'm out of surgery :)

Not the answers I had wanted...

So yesterday they called me back about my mammogram. I went in today and they took more pictures. They see an area with a mass the size of a pea. They decided to do an ultrasound to see if it's a cyst. The ultrasound was inconclusive. So-- the dr said that they will need to do a biopsy. They can't do it until Monday, and then I'd get results Tuesday, but that's supposed to be the day of my surgery. Obviously, everything is up in the air. Praying it's not cancer, and waiting all weekend for answers is tough. I trust God's plan, but I am scared. Praying that it's no big deal and we can go ahead with surgery Tuesday :)
