I would contact the radiologist for more information. I'm not sure what you can ask. Here are some possibilities: You will want to know what your options are. It sounds like you may need a biopsy of the scar tissue. Will it be core needle? Will all the scar tissue be removed, or just a sample? How long until you get the results?

Just want you to know I'm thinking of you. xoxoxo Lynn

I had the biospy Oct
I had the biospy Oct 26...came back OK but said I still need surgery to remove the spot they biopsied already.


My husband was suppose to go but just got called down to L.I. to help with sandy..he's been in Ct all week. My friend was going to go along-but she is very ill and can't go. So I am going alone-now I want to make sure I have a list of questions-so IF I get off track I can look at list.

THANKS LYNNE for reply

Sounds like the surgeon wants an excision biopsy
to get everything out and checked (as they did with me.) The pathology of one of my lumps in the core biopsy was benign, but of a type that sometimes "carries" questionable tissue around it. Fortunately, it turned out that everything in my excisional biopsies/lumpectomy was benign.

Ask what they are looking for, requirements of the surgery, recovery time. For me, the surgeon felt pretty confident going in that everything was benign, and she was right. I hope for the same for you.

MY Dr said he feels it's
MY Dr said he feels it's change in scar tissue from lumpectomy. Just the kind of person I am I can not wait and see. He aslo said it could be DCIS again-but said he will not touch my lymph nodes. (which makes me feel at bit better-he feels NO reason to do so)

Thanks for the reply..

Wed Nov 28 surgery...booked..
