Mammogram call-back

I am sorry you have more to go through. Why did your doctor refuse to order the core needle biopsy? I am not really well versed in these things, but it seems like it would be the next step.

Well, they asked him prior to the appointment and I don't know. One of the nurses told me that some doctors prefer more control over everything then approving everything in advance. I will find out more when I speak with him. They DO think there is a low chance of it being cancer, so perhaps that is why? I am sure I will find out next week.

Aw, Catrin, so sorry you have to go through more of this.

I would actually take it as a good sign that your doctor didn't want to sign off on the stereotactic in advance, that he wanted to weigh the risks and benefits in your particular case. Hoping for the best - hang in there, take good care.

So sorry you got no resolution in this, the waiting part just stinks! Still sending you warm healthy thoughts.

Ugh...so sorry you still don't have definitive results, Catrin. Since I also have a high-deductible health insurance plan, I understand your dilemma. Hope you can talk to your doctor soon about how best to proceed from here.

What a bummer that you have to wait and go through some more. Sending you +++++++ vibes that all be ok and a thing of the past very soon.
