I had BIRADS5 and was told to expect cancer. I don't think that was appropriate but I suppose in some way it helped me. What does "biopsy of head and neck" mean? Is there a lump on lesion on your neck and scalp? The only B-scan I can find online is for eyes...do you know why they are doing that for your lungs?

Is your biopsy on 5/19? That is a long wait! You will get information soon from the biopsy and from the other tests. And more info still from surgery, if that is needed. This is the hardest time. Once you know what you are dealing with and what the treatment plan is, you just go ahead.

I hope you have good distractions and support. I actually got a few Ativan from my doc during this waiting period, walked, watched Netflix because I could not concentrate. The Ativan helped me sleep but I didn't take it often.
That was more than 8 years ago! Keep us posted!

@windyshores, yes I agree 5/19 is a long time. I’m sorry the estimated bill shows an US exam, Chest BSCAN and US exam of head and neck. I also noticed some puffiness above my left breast and center of my chest but I’m not sure why he wants to do all of these tests. I guess being proactive. 5/19 will be my first time seeing the breast surgeon so I have a lot of questions.
I have some good and bad days and on the bad days I usually go over and help my sister out. And since off work on STD, I’m watching plenty of TV. I haven’t been released by gynecologist yet to do any workouts but I will walk to the mailbox or around the corner. My husband and oldest son have been really supportive. My youngest son and I no longer speak to each other since March but I’m okay with that because I have more to worry about at this time.
I appreciate your feedback and will definitely keep you posted.
