MRI Biopsy

Go in and get prepped for an MRI guided "core needle biopsy" of one of the sites in the right breast. The Dr. comes in and introduces himself and said, "We are going to get you in and out as soon as we can. We will numb the breast and take some samples of the tissue. You should not be in pain, but you will be sore."

After lying on the MRI table for more than an hour (And you have to stay completely STILL and in the same position), the Dr. came in and said, "We cannot do it." WHAT?? Why not? He said, "Your breast tissue isn't firm enough (nice way of saying it's too FLABBY...lol) and I do not feel comfortable inserting the needle and not getting the correct location. I have marked the site with a marker and I want to see if we can locate it with ultrasound now that we have it marked."

So...off the MRI table and back up to ultrasound. Within 5 minutes he located one of the "suspicious sites" in the right breast. He told me not to wash off the marker and they would do both ultrasound biopsies the following day...

Waiting is ultimately the worst part of this yet...but again I have to wait.
