I had an MRI guided biopsy after they discovered two spots on my breast that were too small to see on a sonogram guided one, the good thing about it was that it help my surgeon determined that I could have a lumpectomy fathered than a mastectomy. It was however very uncomfortable and painful.

I am waiting on biopsy of my breast. Has anyone had double mastectomy with reconstruction? I was thinking implants. Wanted to think about treatment options. Is it a good idea to take everything out to save my life and prevent recurrence ?

That's exactly what I did. Both surgeons, oncologist and plastic, working together, at the same surgery. I had expanders put on. It's really uncomfortable, but they're temporary. Now I'm done, with the right implants on, niples and tattoos! No regrets at all!!

I had Expanders put in after my surgery. My right side was radiated therefore having trouble with swelling! If I had to do it over I would not of had expanders but I'm not finished maybe I'll change my mind!

I'm 23 year old. I have a lump in the upper outer quadrant of my right breast. I had it biopsied 5 months before... it's stage 2. I sometimes feel pain in that area not very often. Does it mean it has metastasized??

I would ask your doctor to be sure nothing has changed. Have you had surgery, chemo or radiation?

I had a stereo biopsy in August 2010 and the results were benign. Last week, during my annual exam, the doctor found two lumps in the same vicinity of the biopsy. Could this be cancer, or just scar tissue? I'm scared.

Talk to your doctor, of course, but the good news is that 9 out 10 lumps are benign. I know it can be scary to have to wait, but I hope you can have some peace knowing that the odds are in your favor. Either way, don't be afraid to get a second opinion, and be encouraged that you are doing...

Either way, don't be afraid to get a second opinion, and be encouraged that you are doing everything you can to catch it early. I find the best way to get beyond the fear is to talk and talk and talk more to my friends and loved ones. It's good to get your feelings and fears out in the open. I hope this helps! Praying for a good report.

I had an itchy breast and then could feel a large mass within 24 hours. I had a clear mammogram but several large lumps are on the ultrasound. I'm waiting to get in to see a surgeon to set up a biopsy. Anyone else had this experience?

I had an MRI done and they ruled one side benign and the other "probably" benign with no biopsy and want me to wait 6 months. Should I worry?

Please get a second opinion. I was told my mass was a cyst

Thanks, I will be getting a second opinion ASAP. They did end up finding a "nodule" that they have no idea what it is..

It really depends on the type of biopsy you're having performed. I had a core needle biopsy done. They deadened the area first and it wasn't painful....just a little uncomfortable that's all. I had to hold my arm above my head for a little while and it was sore. It was worth it finding my cancer...

It was worth it finding my cancer so I could begin treatment. :)

I had two core biopsies last week, still waiting the results. The area is anaethetised, it was not sore the only thing that was uncomfortable was the doctor pressing the ultrasound very firmly on my breast. all the best to you.

I lost my mother to breast cancer when she was 42. An ultrasound found a mass and I had a biopsy 3 days ago. I am now getting blisters on the breast that had the biopsy. Should I be concerned?
