Had Breast X-rays Followed By Ultrasound Then Biopsies. Anything Serious?
Question: I RECENTLY HAD 14 BREAST X-RAYS, FOLLOWED BY ULTRA SOUND, then 4 FINE NEEDLE BIOPSIES & ONE LARGE biop. RESULTS DO NOT SOUND GOOD. I AM 82 YRS OLD. WHAT CAN I EXPECT NEXT PLEASE?
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The repeated investigations means something was found wrong in the tests. The results of the large biopsy will help in the proper diagnosis. In case any malignant cells are detected then mastectomy may be required to prevent any spread of the disease.
You can share your biopsy report with me for a further discussion.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
