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.…

Sleeplessness
Took my last steroid on Thursday afternoon. Thursday night could not sleep, rested on and off all day and all night. Friday night slept for a few hours on and off. This exhaustion and the "foggy" feeling are the pits. Anyone else have this and how long does this last?

Teena (tgf), thank you soooooo much!!
My secret sister has outdone herself. I carefully opened the box to find everything inside packed with such care.

And since this was a recurrence and she already has osteoporosis he did not recommend her taking Arimidex. He did tell her to talk with her gyn and to take Avista for her osteoporosis as it helps build bone and breast…
