@triciaot Kansas girl here, so I'm all about the ruby slippers. I had to wait 5 days over the promised time for my biopsy results. I did a lot of reading and used my mammogram results while doing the biopsy as a base. I learned a lot, and it wasn't scary at all. I had a friend tell me "get your mammoSquash" because she was diagnosed with a form of breast cancer. She had a lumpectomy followed by a bit of radiation. She is now cancer free. If you're concerned about sutures - don't be. They literally use glue now! (imagine what I felt when I got my hip replacement with my glue) and it's waterproof. You do keep a bandage over it, and it leaves a teeny tiny scar. I call them war wounds. You did just the right thing in calming down enough to read, be informed, write out what your questions are, UNDERSTAND what your doctor is talking about, and you're able to listen to your doctor comprehending what she/he is talking about. It is getting your power back!

*click click" Dorothy - you're going to be fine and in great hands!
