How do I make sense of my biopsy results?

Hello @calygirl84 , I know this is an anxiety building experience. I remember taking in the biggest breathing could and blowing it out forcefully, for some reason this helped me to focus back on whatever the task at hand was during the waiting, and waiting, and more waiting. I also learned to give myself 30 minutes in the morning to do all my worrying and borrowing trouble, and then I could say to myself “nope you cannot worry about this until it is time again”. I hope you can find ways to reduce the worry. There might be a delay in the MRI due to the size, around half the thickness of a dime, to see if that changes over a defined period. I am wondering how they could get 5 core samples from something that size.
Are you comfortable asking your doctor about this?

Hi Chis, your information is comforting. I will get clarity on the length of the MRI and if it’s the more normal 6 month one? Or the new one got the current new found lesion. I also wondered how the could extract 5 samples out of such a small .6 mm, I have portal messages into them. I will get answers and let you know. I can never sit on my concerns because stress is no friend. I will be in touch with them on Monday 🦋

Dear Chris, I so loved your comment.
I keep reading it over and over, as I am so abundantly blessed to hear from everyone!!!! I for one am not happy that my reports initially read” no existence of malignancy” and that this is a fatty/tissue not atypical. However, I get to the actual exam and am told that the Cancer Specialist/ Dr who biopsied my lesion, is concerned that there might be cancer cells in this lump. So I truthfully want this lesion taken out. I do not want to wait 2 months for the MRI and another ultrasound. Then see if it’s palpable and then take it out. I want it actually taken out the sooner the better. What do you all think ?
