So today I am to have my second Biopsy. I know what to expect this time, so I was not to nervous. The people at Washington Radiology Associates are awesome. Today though, I had to wait a lot longer than usual. They were behind schedule. Mary was my nurse again. She brought me back and went over the same questions as before. I was ready for the biopsy and waiting for the doctor to come in. Today I had Julianne Greenburg, MD. She is actually the Director of Mammography at WRA. She was super nice and as I talked to her, she actually knew my plastic surgeon who I want to use if needed. It is kinda cool that all of the doctors I am using know each other and have worked together. It makes me feel good. Especially since they all are at different hospitals.
She was able to see what they had noticed in the left breast and able to do a biopsy on the left one, but unable to see what the MRI picked up on the right breast. She had said that most likely the doctor will want to do a MRI biopsy of the right breast to make sure there is nothing in the right breast. I was thinking, UGH!! Just another appointment. I am not concerned or worried that there is anything there....I am almost certain it is NOTHING. I am just tired of all the appts, and the cost, don't let me get to you on how the cost of this is scaring the heck out of me!!
After the biopsy, you have to go in and have another mammogram. A couple of scan where they squeeze your boobs. Not fun after they put a needle in you boob.
So they bandaged me up, gave me a little ice pack to put in my bra and sent me on my way. I went on my way to work to wait to hear the results. (Negative to any cancerous cells BTW ;-) )
