We had a good time on last two bus trips with my appts but I got a call Friday Night said pathology NOT bad but they think they missed something so I must see a surgeon in next few days.

My Dr said I could get re biopsied or have the "THING they missed" removed...I will get local surgeon (same building as my oncologist-across the street from imagining center)

KEEP fingers, eyes, toes all crossed please...

If they took out the "thing they missed" without a biopsy...

then they would biopsy it after removal? That is absolutely the strangest communication I have heard thus far. What did you decide? Or are you going to go ahead with the surgery?

Oh Denise this is a tough one. To have a good report of NOT bad then a funky "thing" report is really stinky!

I was confused..I pulled

I was confused..I pulled over to talk so not to lose connection! Dr said pathology good...so I was yippee-then she said "WHO is your surgeon"? I said I dont' have one. (mine left the area aweek after he did my surgery) OK I will contact one in our building to contact you...

She did say report looked good but when she spoke to radiologist he thinks he missed something. I read the report and it said he took 3 misc samples. I know I have scar tissue and dense tissue. They COULD NOT "SEE" the clip they inserted even after after about 10 (really 10-12) mammos right after biopsy!

Ask For Copies of The Reports

Always have a copy of the report, test, biopsy, pathology and doctor's note which included the surgeon too.

Then you are able to make heads or tales with it all by seeing it in black and white. You will be able to ask the pertinent questions when you see the surgeon.

Wishing you the best,
