Kat... Good luck on Thursday with the Stereostatic Biopsy - I have had four of these types of biopsies. Most of my breast biopsies have been done by radiologist - in fact, I prefer them over my breast surgeon.

I know you are calm right now and hopefully you have someone going with you. Once you get there, it can be daunting, especially the machine. Ask for something like ativan if you are feeling nervous - it will make the procedure easier.

Please keep us posted - and remember... THIS IS YOUR BODY!
