I went back to see the surgeon today for a recheck after my biopsy 6 weeks ago. Apparently when a biopsy comes back as negative that still doesn’t mean that there is no cancer. The doctor explained that a negative needle biopsy is only 80% accurate. The lump is still there, although the doctor thinks that it feels slightly smaller. I am scheduled to have another ultrasound in 4 weeks. At that time they will try to get a better idea if the lump has changed in size. Once again, I’m waiting...
