Nearly 3 weeks ago my wife (51, first mammogram) was called back after a mammogram as microcalcifications had been spotted. She had the typical tests - enhanced mammogram, ultrasound and a biopsy. We were due to get the results this Friday, but the nurse has just called to say they need another biopsy. Apparently the doctors at the MDT meeting haven't seen anything 'overly suspicious' but they want to be '110% sure' so they want another biopsy. So I guess this sounds positive, but I still have that horrible 'back of the mind' dread. What could 'overly suspicious' mean anyway? Does it mean there's something there but they're not sure??? Just wondering if anyone else has been in in a similar position before. Will a second biopsy come back any quicker? The waiting is torture.
