Morning of the biopsy

I arrived Monday morning on the 12th of Oct for my biopsy. Nervous doesn't begin to describe how I was feeling. As I laid on the table face down with my right breast hanging through a whole that was in the table, they placed by breast between two paddles which projected an x-ray of my breast on the screen. I frantically looked the x-ray up and down to see if I noticed any mass in the breast before they told me to lay still. Maybe, just maybe they were mistaken once again. Once they found the area of concern, I was ordered to hold still and not move so they could inject the probe into my breast and start the core biopsy. After about a half hour the procedure was done. The samples were sent off to pathology for testing to see if the area was cancer. As I got up off the table with an eraser size whole at the top of my breast the nurse attached two stere strips over the whole to hold it together. I was then off to get a another mammogram to see if the clip they inserted in the area was in place. The clip is inserted in case of surgery, the surgeon will know where the infected area is in case of an future lumpectomy. Everything looked good and I was sent on my way with a 24 hour lifting restriction. No house work, dishes or cooking! I told the Dr to tell Ric I needed a week off, but he wasn't falling for it.
