How do I make sense of my biopsy results?

Thank-you abundantly, I do so many things, read, watch my prime and Netflix, cook, go second hand clothes shopping 🛍 and many other things, bible studies, alanon meetings, my life is full. I however, do not like it when this entire Biopsy, lesion, possible cancer cells, and all the other scary things that get thrown at us. I know this isn’t an exact science, but it is very complicated. I just don’t want to do the sit and wait, then wait another month, then another biopsy, then another ultrasound, then another MRI? When it is fairly certain it is cancer, why do they not remove the lesion?

Did they give you a BIRADS number? That can help tell you how much the docs think there is cancer risk. It is unclear what the doc meant by "cancer cells." That could mean a wide range of possibilities. It sounds like there is not a huge amount of concern, that they just want to make sure, but there is no urgency in removal. If waiting is difficult, maybe you should contact the doctor and get on a waiting list, or consult a second doctor. I did not use the oncologist who first did my biopsy. Maybe you can speed things up one way or the other. Are you willing to drive an hour or two?
