I had my breast biopsy for calcifications on Thursday afternoon, it was not pleasant. The first biopsy sample was xrayed and didn't contain calcification so they realigned the needle and tried again. Second biopsy missed too so they had a third attempt and thankfully succeeded. But as a result I am so bruised, swollen and sore. I was expecting a bit of discomfort but this is awful. It hurts to wear a bra and hurst more to not wear one. Does anybody have any advice?
Also in my post biopsy confusion I cannot remember when the paper stitches have to come off and I don't have a number for the breast clinic. Does anybody know how long to leave them on?
