Annual Scans and Stereotactic Biopsy
I had my annual scans last week (ultrasound
and mammogram) and my surgeon called today to say they have found something
small but suspicious and I will need to have a stereotactic biopsy on Monday to...
Becmac!
Hello! I had a Stereotactic Biopsy last year which ended up being my recurrence in my scar tissue from 4yrs previous. It is a little different to a core biopsy. I had 4 medical team in the room and they were all so wonderful and amazing. They do give you a local anaesthetic and I remember I was actually in like a half sitting/laying chair. It's not particularly pleasant, I have to be honest, but I suggest you give them a call as I did prior to discuss any concerns you have. I do know, you will absolutely be fine though. Let us know how you go. Hugs Melinda xo
