My breast MRI had shown an additional area of concern. I had a biopsy of a suspicious lymph node under my left arm. Those results came back that it was benign. Surgery date was scheduled for the 30th of June.
A radiologist who initially read my breast MRI was concerned about another area. On Jun 27th I was scheduled for a breast biopsy. The suspicious area was around 10 - 11 on the clock dial.
I went into the ultrasound area and the technician tried her best to locate the spot of concern. She really did not find the spot however took some pictures in that area. A radiologist came in. On a shallower spot, she found a lymph node. She said it appeared to be a benign lymph node. She then compared this image to a previous mammogram in 2011. It was determined to be a benign lymph node and I was told they wouldn't be doing a biopsy.
Sounds great right? It was very confusing. I was thinking "so now what". The next day the surgeon called and I was rescheduled for the biopsy and my surgery date was moved to July 5th due to results coming back in 2 days later.
I could now enjoy my 4th of July weekend with family and friends. On the other hand I just wanted to get this surgery behind me.
The biopsy came back benign and surgery was on for July 11, 2016.
