The radiologist rated my MRI and ultrasound at Bi-RAD 4B.

Yet on June 2nd after I got MRI results the 12 surgeons I called and breast centers said they were all booked up until August do to a biopsy. Unbelievable. Very sad. I finally got my biopsy July 25 after waiting two months on a Bi RADS 4B.

I had the same type of cancer that you have. Mine was back in May 2020 at the start of Covid. I had my biopsy and diagnosis within a week. Unfortunately, my Breast Clinic appointment was not scheduled until July. Then another 6 weeks to see the surgeon and finally 2 more weeks to have surgery. I ended up with a Lumpectomy, followed by 16 rounds of Radiation. This was all done at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. It didn't help that I was a former Mayo employee and had worked with many fo the Breast Clinic doctors.
Love the Boot Camp photo!! I have a similar one having served 01/84 to 11/94 Desert Storm/Shield.
