Thank you. I will have an ultrasound guided biopsy. It’s not until 2 o’clock so I took a half day and will not go back to work. They mentioned 48 hours for the results. I am feeling much better about all positive messages about the biopsy.

@kh4976 Good morning, How did your experience and biopsy go? Have you had to have surgery/radiation, etc., for what they originally found from your Mammogram? I am going through this process, as well. The biopsy will be performed on Feb 13th so the results probably won't be in until the following Wednesday. I'm hoping that this is an area of distortion due to prior radiation in that breast for DCIS two years ago. If so, from what I've read on other sites, they may recommend the excision of that area. We'll see. I carry the Chek2+ genetic mutation which Memorial Sloan Kettering has found to be Pathogenic. There is an area on the other breast they will be Biopsing as well - looks like it could be DCIS. The Radiologist stated that because the location of the Architectural Distortion (AD) is "in a very difficult area to reach" and the other one in a "difficult" area, that there may be some discomfort and pain as well as more time on the table than I have previously experienced/required.
Anyone else in this forum who has had AD in the same previously radiated breast? What did they find and how was this treated? Thank you.
