In reply to April Stasek. Every office and medical team does it differently. It took me a while to get all the referrals straight and scheduled. Other people I interviewed had biopsies done much more quickly. I hope your biopsies go smoothly! I have a few blog posts about biopsies and there's a whole chapter in my book about biopsies and results. Sometimes they can be confusing. I am doing well now, but I do remember the swirl and uncertainty. Best wishes as you go through your procedures!

I was referred to a surgical oncologist after a mammogram, 3D mammo and an ultrasound. It has made me very anxious and I can’t help but think the worst at times because of that referral. I have a friend whose gynecologist did her biopsy in her office. Why so different? Is it because they believe mine really could be something? I have my biopsy in two places this Monday and should have results within two days. I will getting your book based on my results. So glad you are on the other side and that you are good!!!!

Thank you for this article. I had no idea why I got a call to se a breast surgeon. They gave me very little information on the phone. You’re story reminds me a lot of mine currently.
