Options Question
Yesterday I received notice that my insurance company denied my drs. request for me to have a PET Scan. They deemed it medically unnecessary. What other tests can the onc. do to make sure the cancer is gone. My blood work is clear for now but by the time it shows up in the blood it is probably more advanced. I finished…

Relieved
Went for my 6th month PET scan today and was relieved to find out my pain is just two fractured ribs on my left side. No change in the bone mets that he can see but I am having some follow up tests to verify everything. I was so scared as my story mirrors Elizabeth Edwards in so many ways.

Have suspicious calcifications should I have the wire biopsy done. Already had the needle biopsy.
I recently found that I have microcalcifications and was told I should have a wire biopsy. They did the needle biopsy but were not able to determine if it was cancer or not...only that they were suspicious. Has anyone had the wire biopsy and does it leave a noticeable change in your breast? I am very small and concerned…

Strange day, strange feeling
My surgery was a year ago today. So, it was a strange day. When I would look at the clock, I thought, Well, I was doing the wire guide thing or the dye injection, or in surgery. I feel like I have relived the whole day. We even had a lot of snow that day. I wasn't dwelling on this anniversary, but it really crept up on me.…
