Dear Susan,
I can sooooooooooooooo relate to your fears. The day before my radiation was to be finished I got a call from my surgeon saying that there was a questionable area of calcification in my other breast (found through a mamoo) and they wanted to do a stereotactic biopsy of it. Oh geez! I just cried and cried and couldn't believe it. I thought HOW COULD I HAVE CANCER AFTER JUST COMPLETING 8 CYCLES OF CHEMO. Well, thankfully, ALL CAME BACK BENIGN and I was the happiest girl in the world. HOWEVER, at that point I made the decision to have my other breast removed and my insurance approved it. My surgeon didn't fight me on it at all as she knew from the get go that having both breasts removed is really what I wanted. After this scare I think she really agreed with me.
So, I am now breastless and happy as can be.
God be with you and I'm sure it is nothing.
Mary Jo
