Susie, I spent one day iin the hospital having, in this order:
1/regular mammo
2/called back in for bigger mammo
3/ultrasound
4/sonogram (yes, both)
5/biopsy
6/consult with NP who said it could well be cancer
This was all in one day.
I told the NP I waned a masectomy no matter what the results were, but everyone seemed to think it was early cancer, including the radiologist.
I got a call five days later (five long days) that it had come back NORMAL!!!!!
Thee had been changes in my breast though so I opted for an elective masectomy and I am going to have recon whenever I want it and I'm so glad I had the surgery, but I was so sure I had cancer and so was everyone else.
Don't assume the worst and, even if it is, cancer surival rates for breast cancer are high. Hang in there. We are all in your corner, holding your hand.
