Hello lady_penelope, 

It won't be long now until your first appointment on the 8th of March. I am so sorry though to hear that your partner's father was rushed to hospital. It must be such a stressful time for all of you and it's a shame that you are not able to visit him in hospital. 

Have you managed to speak to the breast nurse? It's good to mention to them that you are on Warfarin and they will be able to tell you what you need to do. If necessary they will check with a GP what the recommendations are in your situation. 

Best of luck for the 8th of March - everything tightly crossed for you!

Hi 

thanks for reply 

i phoned the breast clinic and asked if they needed up to date inr , she said yes , she also said not many people would if that question , but would be needed if biopsey was required , and would have to stop warfarin 5 days prior to any surgery , and stay in hospital longer until my inr was in range 

i have only looked at dr google with warfain and biopsy ... with risks etc 

with events of my father in law being so poorly its replacped my thoughts of the first appoitment and what consultant may or may not say
