  I had two core needle breast biopsies of two complex cysts. One specimen has black sections on the tissue. Does this indicate malignancy?

    No, I have not received results yet. The 2 biopsies were done today. As I was getting dressed, I saw the two specimens in containers. One was just clear pink liquid without any observable solids. The other one had multiple sizable samples in a clear liquid. These cuts were yellowish/whitish and...

    The radiologist who did my breast ultrasound told me 80% of biopsies are negative and not to worry until we had the results. Easier said than done, right? It's good to have lots of information when you need to make a decision, but sometimes that just fuels the panic. Try to talk things...

    The radiologist who did my breast ultrasound told me 80% of biopsies are negative and not to worry until we had the results. Easier said than done, right? It's good to have lots of information when you need to make a decision, but sometimes that just fuels the panic. Try to talk things through with a trusted friend or family member, or even a pastor or counsellor, who can help you keep things in perspective. There are all kinds of wonderful support groups for people struggling with various issues, whether health or job or family. The main thing is to realize that you are not alone and people want to help, especially if they have been there themselves. Please let us know how things turn out for you.

    This surgery is a breeze. I had next to no pain & never had to take meds they gave me. The lymp node area under the arm pit was a little sore & swollen for about a month. I had no drains put in & the surgery was about 2 hours with no hospital stay. Overall this surgery went well. My lump was small & also close to the surface. My incision was on my areola so my breast looked a little weird but I didn't care nor did my husband. I had 35 radiation treatments 6 weeks after & that went well as well. No burning or skin blistering just a really dark suntan on that boob. It went back to normal color in about a month. I went 5 days a week. Prayers to you. Your gonna do great

    My lump was right by my areola. I could feel it. Surgery was a breeze like the others said. My dr cut around the areola so I had no scar at all. Some swelling and bruising. My arm pit hurt from the nodes. I put a bandana up there so skin wasn't rubbing on skin. Helped a lot. Once the nerves start...

    My lump was right by my areola. I could feel it. Surgery was a breeze like the others said. My dr cut around the areola so I had no scar at all. Some swelling and bruising. My arm pit hurt from the nodes. I put a bandana up there so skin wasn't rubbing on skin. Helped a lot. Once the nerves start coming back to life, it's like being stabbed with a knife. Only lasts a minute. Like an electric shock. It would scare me and I would jump every time. This went on a couple of weeks. My margins weren't clean and more aggressive than thought, so I ended up having a bi-mast a month later.
