Bi-Rads. 4A. I have not talked to a lhysician at all yet, despite my messages and phone calls. This is a physician that, prior to this, contacts you about every lab or message. Then all of the sudden, MIA right when I truly need him. It took five days, and several attempts by me, for them to call me…and it was just to finally order the ultrasound. I had that Wednesday and the radiology report was sent online to him and me with 1/2 hour. Again, no response. It recommended MRI guided biopsy. Now it appears they sent ab order for u,trasou d guided biopsy to the one place I already told them I do not want to go for a biopsy. Lots of errors and lack of communication, leading to increased anxiety. Almost feeling paralyzed emotionally to schedule this biopsy at a place I do not trust. I have investigated other breast centers.

This is a heartbreaking and crazy inducing situation, I am sorry this is your life right now.
Please call your doctors office and have a place in mind to get your biopsy, or ask to be sent to a breast surgeon for an excision biopsy where they remove the lump and biopsy it. If this does not get you the desired result, call your local cancer center and ask for the name of a good place to go then call them yourself and explain your situation.
I find that genuinely asking for help will usually get some results. If it does not, that probably isn’t a doctors office you want if it does turn out to be cancer.
Do you live in an area with a large medical center or teaching hospital? Is there a breast cancer support group in your area where you can talk to others and get good recommendations?
