Since I am going to have to monitor the other 2 calcifications (which are so small they were almost undetectable), I have decided to monitor the tiny 5mm mass they believe to be a fibroadenoma. <br /><br />Both the radiologist and the surgeon said they would not even have recommended a biopsy had it not been for my mom's history. I shared with them my concerns of my mom's cancer and how every time she got a biopsy, her cancer spread. They kept assuring me that would not happen. I know what happened to my mom though. I lived through it and saw it first hand. On one hand, they want to do the biopsy b/c of her history and on the other hand, they don't want to take her history and her experiences into account.<br /><br />For now, I am at peace to stay on top of things, closely monitor, and go in for follow up screenings. When and if things begin to change and they are suspicious of those changes, I will most likely skip the biopsy and go straight to a lumpectomy. <br /><br />Thank you for all of your prayers. They are very much appreciated.Starfish Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02357460498875083845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7915722163450250052.post-88636180248490524322011-12-12T07:17:29.745-06:002011-12-12T07:17:29.745-06:00Thank you all for your kind words and prayers.
