Keeping the wheels spinning. Best of luck with the results. Rest and heal and don't let them minimize your pain - emotional or physical.

(I have to have a sports injury every few years so I can get a stash of pain pills from the ER, that I hold back to use against iatrogenic pain, when they cut up sensitive parts on purpose and tell you to go home and take ibuprofen. )

(((Marni))) that sounds so frustrating. I hope all the questions are answered without more tests, and the news is good.

Sheesh...gotta wonder if all those xrays are worth it. I'd be worried that even if I didn't have cancer now, all that radiation would give it to me later. It really seems that there should be a better way of diagnosing/biopsying in the 21st century.

I surely wish you good news with your results and am just sorry for all you've had to go through to date.

Sorry you had to go through all of that. Your results will be worth it though, one way or the other. But, that sure is some mashed taters there. Wow.

As for the better way... FYI: MRI breast biopsy. Maybe they just didn't have that where she went, though. No radiation with MRI. Or, maybe she has a medical reason why she can't go into the big magnet... When they have that much of an issue, MRI is the way to go if they can.

Oh my. That was no fun. Hang in there.
