They were not able to get all the lesion but did successfully get five core specimens and place a titanium marker. Now we wait till Tuesday or Wed for the results. I am glad it is over!
Kat - Do keep us posted.
They will have your results that quick? My biopsies always took 7 days... Which were the longest 7 days of my life.

Hard to get all the lesion with a stereotactic. I also have cluster calcifications - which are watched closely. It is these calcifications which my Mom had, that were malignant. Amazing something so small.

I am glad it is over for you.

Sending you hugs....I know this had to be incredibly tough, but I'm still so glad they caught this early, and that you're getting it taken care of. :rrose:

Kat....Jo and i will be sending good energy your way on thursday...good luck! :)
Yes, I lucked out....no lesion, no mass, just some fibrous tissue. So, I get a follow up mammo and ultrasound in 6 months....and will have to be sure to go annually. I feel like I dodged a bullet :fastdraq:

Now I get to worry about my sweetie....she may sidetrack easily, but I'm :vigil:

Good luck to Scoote I will be thinking about her, and glad to hear that it is nothing for you Jo. I go to have my mammo in Dec 2010 they couldn't fit me in any earlier well it is the NY area so I understand that there are a lot of people needing a mammography I'm not the only one but really not looking forward to it..

Wishing you all good results, good continued results and congrats for taking the bull by the horn and getting those mammos. For all of us who have lost loved ones to this disease; my most heartfelt condolences. I also lost mom to this terrible disease but it was 28 yrs ago she was diagnosed and she lived for just three more years.

During this time since Oct. 20th, it has caused me a great deal of thinking. But the most surprising thing is that I have been greiving all over again about my mom. I know if she knew that one of her daughters was possibly facing breast cancer she would be mad as hell! I feel sad for all over again, after now tasting a tiny part of what she experienced.

I will never look at Breast Cancer lightly again and will encourage every woman and born woman I know to take good care of themselves by self examination, yearly check ups and mammo exams. I started already with my two daughters asking them to get the BRACtest. Better to know about the gene in order to make life changes now! One daughter is 41 and the other is 38; three sisters 59, 48 and the youngest 46. And two granddaughters 15 and 8.

I was surprised to learn that only about 8% of breast cancer (or some low number close to that) is hereditary. BRACtest also finds the gene for ovarian cancer which really is a silent killer!!!

Hugs and love to all on this thread!!!

I have never really given any thought to cancer, until my mother rec'v her diagnosis. About 2 years ago. And I about 5mths ago had breast reduction and while operating they found mass, I was very lucky. So tell a fellow sister to get check

katsarecool 11-20-2010 10:42 PM
I am so happy you are ok!!! And sorry about your mom dealing with this terrible disease!!!!

katsarecool 11-23-2010 01:41 PM
I just talked to the nurse. It is benign!!! Fiborus adenoma is the diagnosis which will require a mammogram every six months indefinitely!
What a relief! I want to say a special thank you for everyone who offered support and love and an extra special thanks to the people who sent support and love through private messages. All of this has sustained me through this five week ordeal. Now I can be just a regular member here!!! Yeah!

Wooooo hooooooo! :cheer:
That's wonderful news, and I'm so happy for you.
Looks like you, me and Scoote will all be doing that 6 month thing, but it's a heck of a lot better than the alternative. :)

katsarecool 11-23-2010 01:57 PM
It sure is Jo! And the three of us can remind each other six months from now "well are you going to make that appointment in May? Thanks so much for all the support and love!!!

Which reminds me....it's time to schedule my follow-up. :seeingstars:

JustJo 11-02-2011 08:31 AM
Okay....so it's not Breast Cancer Awareness Month because I'm a month late...but I'm heading in today for my mammogram (and an ultrasound on that pesky right side)...and wanted to give this thread a bump.

If you haven't had your mammogram yet this year...please call and schedule it now.

We want to keep all of you around for as long as we can. :rrose:

Gemme 11-02-2011 07:02 PM
My apartment complex has a steady supply of breast cancer awareness merchandise that they sell and the profits go to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

I bought a tote.

:stillheart:

Now, ya'll go get your boobs checked!

JustJo 10-07-2012 07:08 PM
It's that time of year again....breast cancer awareness month.

My annual is coming up soon, and I remember the trepidation I felt two years ago when it came back "abnormal."

Femme, butch, trans....we all owe it to ourselves and those we love to have regular screenings. Believe me, I hate it as much as anyone....but it's important.

Please take a moment and make your appointment today. If you don't have insurance, please check with your local Planned Parenthood office or local Department of Health. There are lots of programs that cover mammograms for uninsured women...there may be one in your area. :rrose:
