I finally heard from my Dr. regarding my breast biopsy after waiting two weeks. The results were…they’re confused. St. Joe’s (the hospital that performed the biopsy) was recommending another sample or to excise the entire lump. My dr. seeing the results (that were Benign) wanted me to get a second opinion.
Yesterday I met with a breast specialist (I know dad…you picked the wrong profession!) Dr. Lynn. She was very nice and explained my results to me very clearly. Basically the gist of it is: The mammogram and sonogram showed a “banana” and the pathology reports said the lump was an “apple”. Now I’m using fruit because the real terms don’t make any sense, and this is the best way to explain it. With said after examining the spot the Dr. Lynn recommended that I just take it out. She said if they did another biopsy they could get another bad sample and we’d be right back where we are now. By taking it out-it’s gone and they can get as much samples as they want and figure out if everything is ok.
Seeing as I don’t want to have to go through this anymore I’m all for taking it out. (plus I’ve already paid my deductible so it’s FREE!) It will be out patient surgery and should have some bruising for a few weeks. But she assured me I wouldn’t look deformed and only have a small scar. I also told her that we had been trying to get pregnant so she was very nice in scheduling the surgery around my “schedule” in the off chance it does happen for us. (If I’m pregnant I can’t have the surgery and then my breasts will get all wacky causing more confusion)
I’m scheduled for 1 o’clock on November 2nd-so if you happen to look up at the clock at that time on that day say a little prayer for me and my left boobie 
Thanks!
