Waiting the excisional biopsy results.....surgeon said it would take 3 - 4 days for the results.

The needle biopsy results:

"show an atypical papillary neoplasm (i.e. atypical ductal hyperplasia involving an intraductal papillary neoplasm".

"The process of atypical ductal hyperplasia within this papillary neoplasm is manifsted by cytological monotony of the lesional cells and relative solid growth thereof. There is sclerosing entrapment of lesional glads at the perimeter of the lesion. The papillary lesion involves multiple cores wherein it maximally spans 0.5 cm".

This is when waiting 3-4 days can feel like weeks. Unfortunately there isn’t a lot you can do now except wait and get as informed as you can. I am glad you found connect. The information from the excisional biopsy will bring questions about what is the next step for you. Please remember you have a voice in whatever your treatment plan will be. If it is benign, they might recommend surveillance to be sure that does not change. If it is malignant, that means a ton of other questions about treatments, side effects, etc.
