more testing - special MRI, biopsy, ultrasound and more

if a lumpectomy is done, then usually followed with radition.

2 of my relatives went thru this with the lumpectomy & radiation and are doing just fine.
Thanks Jo*mar for the reassurance. I have an appt., scheduled with a surgeon tomorrow.
It's just that there is so much controversy about everything, even a needle biopsy, in case it disturbs the cancer cells and they move outside of the tumor.
I did see that there are some resources listed in a sticky above here so I'll check those out.
But I do like to hear people's personal experiences with organizations, web-sites, etc.
Thanks again,
Sunrise
