I finally got in to see my breast surgeon about the red rash that I have had for over two weeks. She said it did not look like bc recurrance but to be sure a biopsy had to be done. So she ended up taking five biopsies. Ouch. 4 punch biopies various places around my breast and one core biopsy at the scar line. So, now I need to get creative and keep my mind off the waiting for results.
