Okay back at home now. The radiologist and technician at Emory University Hospital were awesome!!!!!! They knew exactly what they were doing and had humor too. It was not comfortable; it lasted 45 min and I am in a bit of pain. Thanks for Vicodin! They were not able to get all the lesion but did successfully get five core specimens and place a titanium marker. Now we wait till Tuesday or Wed for the results. I am glad it is over!

What a proactive group we have here. Awesome that I see ya'll doing research, and follow-up's and return visits and just being aware.

I know enough to be dangerous and enough to be scared. So, I am grateful for this thread, as it has reminded me of the importance of doing what many like me hesitate doing. I can tell the ladies to go have those Mammo's and when it comes to me...ahh..well...I can just say, I have to get off my soapbox and go do it myself. Denial is not that river in Egypt.

Glad to be here, and see all of you too.

Kat - Do keep us posted.
They will have your results that quick? My biopsies always took 7 days... Which were the longest 7 days of my life.

Hard to get all the lesion with a stereotactic. I also have cluster calcifications - which are watched closely. It is these calcifications which my Mom had, that were malignant. Amazing something so small.

I am glad it is over for you.

Sending you hugs....I know this had to be incredibly tough, but I'm still so glad they caught this early, and that you're getting it taken care of.
