Biopsy May 20, 2016 - I was told I would have the results the next day.   Then they realized it was the weekend coming up.  I would have to wait until Monday.

We were going to the Poconos to celebrate our 30th Wedding Anniversary.  I enjoyed the outdoors and the hikes, dinner out with hubby and being in nature.

Monday - May 23, 2016 - I was promised a call around 4 pm.  Everyone is Waiting~  
I received a call - the results were not back in yet.

Tuesday - May 24, 2016 - Our actually 30th Wedding Anniversary
They called with my results around 4:30 pm.  

"FOLLOW-UP POSTBIOPSY - 5/24/2016

Stereotactic core needle biopsy of calcifications and ultrasound-guided core
needle biopsy of a nodule left breast were performed on your patient by my
associate, Dr. XXXXX, on 05/20/2016. The patient tolerated the procedure
well. On my phone conversation with her today, she reported no significant
complication post biopsy.

The final pathology diagnosis of left stereotactic biopsy of calcifications
unfortunately revealed high-grade ductal carcinoma in situ. The
ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy of the left breast nodule revealed
high-grade invasive ductal carcinoma. The pathology report was explained to
the patient. She took the news fairly well although obviously she was
disappointed with the positive results."
