Good Morning Erin,

I'm sorry this has happened to you and I know exactly how you feel. I, too, went through this 8 months after my initial diagnosis. I did have to go through a sterotactic biopsy and THANKFULLY the results were all benign. At that point however, I opted for a prophylactic mastectomy of my left breast as I didn't want to go through this stress every 6 months. I do not regret my decision. Thankfully, after the pathology report came back of that breast no cancer was found.

So hang in there and no that it probably is nothing but definitely needs to be followed through.

Sending loving thoughts and hugs,

Mary Jo
