I had a core biopsy done at Breastscreen Australia. I had the mammogram one week and I had to go back a week later for the results and to speak with the doctor. She said, we should do a biopsy just to be sure it is a cyst (they thought it looked like a cyst). I said when would you like to do that. She said now? I didn't have time to think about it. She was fantastic, didn't feel the local, I only felt pushing for the biopsy AND they let me have a look at the core that they removed (I don't have a squeemish tummy for blood and guts and I wanted to see).
The first surgeon that I saw (whom I didn't go with) did a lymph node aspiration in his office at my first consult with him. I didn't like that at all. It didn't hurt but I felt like I had been railroaded into it. It was a benign node but he wanted to test it anyway. Then he had me booked to see all and sundry specialists in one week at horrendous expense. I got thoroughly upset about it all and I went looking for a more empathetic surgeon. Thankfully I found a really good one.
