Biopsy... This Time Feels Scary to Me Posted: 07-08-07 10:43am
hi I posted earlier but i just saw this
Dr. Answers section.. I hope you can tell
me what you really think here? I am seeing
a surgeon this week. and another exam..I
was sent a registered letter.. so I guess
that kind of freaked me out... should i
get another opinion.. thankyou for being
here .I am 56. I had a excisional wire
biopsy in 88 and a fine needle in 2001..
all different areas of my right breast
There are scattered fibroglandular tissues
noted. There are uper-outer quadrant lymph
nodes noted. Within the right breast at
the approx 6-7 oclock position..8 cm from
the nipple is a nodular density measuring
1x0.7 cm. Reocmend spot mag and ultracound
to further evaluate this lesion. adjacent
to the lesion in the uper outer quadrant
is a cluster of calcifications with
questionable associated soft tissue
density. there is coarse calcifications
noted within the rb there are bilateral
punctate calc. noted
coned down views demonstrate isodense,
oval 1 cm nodule in the middle onethird
right breast central position. there is no
abnormal calc. or spiculation. ultra sound
performed the same day demonstrates a
nodular contour with suspicious features.
conclusion... solid lobulated nodule
determined by ultrasound considered
suspicious and recommend biopsy. bi rads 4
right breast

Have you had your biopsy yet? I would not
put it off with a birad 4. Biopsies can be
scary, but not knowing can also be scary.
I wish I could say something to make you
feel better. I hope all is well. I have
worked in a breast cancer clinic for 2
years and when my doctor said suspicious
we were usually dealing with a breast
cancer. If I can be of any help to you.. I
would be glad to do so...
