Thank you for sharing your story, harrowing as it was. As a retired NICU nurse, I'm all about research, and most of all not letting any medical professional gaslight me. It's hard to make a decision on the spur of the moment and it speaks to the importance of not letting anyone invade one's body with needles before having time to gather information. I'm sorry you had that experience of delay and eventual diagnosis. My surgeon is concerned about the possibility of LCIS of ILC. The MRI-guided biopsy hasn't been scheduled yet....I'm hoping to hear from the MRI department early in the coming week with a date for that. This area of concern on MRI is completely new since December 2022 and I'm having a hard time believing this 7.5cm area could have grown that fast in 12 months to be cancer. Nothing to do but research breast oncology surgeons and plastic surgeons in my area so I make a mastecomy decision, if it's needed, having done my homework. Thank you for your support!
