Okay, had a "suspicious" mammogram so I had to go in for another detailed digital mammogram on 2 spots. Yes I said 2! The girl looked at the pictures and didn't really give me much of an idea what she was seeing. I guess they don't really know, so I was sent right over for an ultrasound. Well they looked over the "suspicious" spots and decided clearly that one was a cyst....however; the other looks possibly more solid in nature and needs to be biopsied.
Now I have never had a needle biopsy and am very scared. They don't knock you out yet stick a needle way inside you to aspirate some tissue. My report said:
At the 3 oclock area there is an elongated sonolucent structure with through transmission, compatible with a cystic abnormality measuring approx 9 mm.
The 6 oclock area there is a solid hetergoginious songraphic abnormality which is somewhat poorly marginated, measureing 1.1 cm in greatest dimension. Obtaining tissue for difinitive diagnosis is recommended performed with ultrasound-guilded localization and excisional biopsy or core biopsy under ultra sound guidance. How big is 1.1 cm?
Okay, now that I've told you the whole story....anyone ever had a biopsy of the breast? OHHHHH I am so dreading this....but I know it has to be done.
