I went to see my radiation oncologist and she didn't like the lumpy area on the left side of my breast reconstruction. She ordered an ultrasound test.
I went to my ultrasound appointment as planned. The ultrasound tech spoke to the radiologist doctor who wanted a mammogram and then another ultrasound test. I went through these tests. As I was lying on the ultrasound table, two doctors came into the examination room and told me that I needed a core biopsy.
About two years ago, I had a total of 24 core biopsies performed on each breast. On the left side, I had guided ultrasound biopsies. On the right side, I had guided MRI biopsies. Did I mention that core biopsies are quite painful? It took about a year for the areas biopsied to stop hurting.
On November 30th, I again had a core biopsy performed on the left (reconstructed) side. The doctors decided to take four biopsies this time. They then sent me home to wait.
