Breast Biopsy: Why Ask for a Minimally Invasive Biopsy

[@vt1549]

Thanks too for your guidance. I have this biopsy on Wednesday. I am claiming total victory. I am in Gods hands. I thank you for this video. The information you gave was so needed. I thank Jesus in advance for my healing!

[@BJones-dg6nj]

I have 2 go on the 29th. A small lump.

[@amazinglovejn316]

Hows your biopsy?

[@iamenvymetoo]

I had 1 Stero and 2 core needle biopsies. Same breast, same day. I was TERRIFIED but I can now say it wasn’t nearly as barbaric and painful as I expected. Completely tolerable and I have zero tolerance for pain. Felt a tiny prick and a subtle burning from the lidocaine and that was it. My doctor was great and told me to ask for more numbing meds if I felt anything more. Do not be afraid to ask for more numbing medication. That is the key! All benign BTW.

I had two small lumps in my rt breast at the age of 19 years and these were removed and biopsy report was non malignant. And up till now no lump in the both breasts.but now I feel small nodule v small about 10and 9 mm in my lft breasts. But lymphatic system is intact. No lymph node any where. surgeon advised me biopsy of these nodule guided by ultrasnography.

[@Gardening-FarmtoTable-andMore]

Studies show should air get to a cancerous cell this could cause it to spread more quickly. So why take a chance and not just do an MRI with contrast

I hope not wow

[@NJWAANAA]

I thank you a lot Dr. Williams💐 I did the needle biopsy just today and they left a small tiny titaium thing @the place of the mass to mark from where they got the biopcy 18.07.2022 and it was NOT PAINFUL @ALL😇😇😇 I'll get back to the hospital to: 1- Ask them politely to contact me either by mobile or to to send me an E-mail with the result as soon as they got it. 2- Ask them politely also to hand me a paper copy of the pathologist report. I appreciate you Dr.Williams for giving us these wonderfull informations and to underline these importants points that we should keep it in our medical personal reports file@home💐 My best Jordanian regards from Switzerland🥰🥰🥰

[@Livelongwforce]

To all women who have DCIS, beware of the biopsy! Had 2 aggressive biopsies for DCIS last June. Just DCIS. Told i had all the time in the world to pick a surgeon. Had full Mastectomy Feb 1st this year. Lymph node biopsy showed invasive, then found on my liver March 6th. I am 100% certain, the biopsies caused a change in the environment of the cancer, causing a invasive mutation in that very area. This is called Inflammatory oncotaxis. If you have a biopsy and it shows cancer, please have it removed within 54 days of your biopsy!

[@Susan-hh7wc]

I'm sorry to hear that. Can I ask why 54 days?

[@Truerealism747]

Why 54 days my other half had cancer mastectomy 8 years ago now 9 mm lump had needle biopsy biospy made it that small so now been removed next ten days

[@anamelendez5812]

I have watched almost ALL your videos. THANK YOU so much for informing us patients as we navigate through all our different circumstances. I am 43 years old and have my appointment today with my breast surgeon. I have breast disease and very dense breasts. My new and current lump on left breast fits the potential cancerous tumor BUT hoping and praying outcome is benign. Since I am continually producing tumors and I have many in both my breasts, I have read that I am a good candidate for a breast MRI. In addition I've had two breast papillomas in my breast ducts one on each of my breasts and they were removed in 2017. I have had multiple biopsies as well. My doctor back then told me that the breast MRI could potentially give me a lot of false positives. I feel like I'm just waiting until one of the many tumors I continue getting will turn out as cancer and I am always wondering until when my prevention would be over treating my condition. Do you have any insights or guidance that I may include on my personal research for my particular situation? Thank you very much.

[@anamelendez5812]

@@vickikaravas8774 thank you so much Vicki. The surgeon kept minimizing my situation and after another round of biopsies, they found yet another tumor that needed removal. Until then, the doctor suggested a mastectomy as I was going to be deformed on one breast. Since I had other tumors on my other breast that needed removal as well, she did recommend a bilateral mastectomy and I had them both removed a few years ago. It brought peace of mind. It confirmed what my husband and I always felt, that it was indeed a situation of importance, concern, and that the doctor did not need to minimize ever. Once the tumors were removed and studiedThey ended up finding several cells that were not normal and the doctor that did my reconstruction confirmed that it was only a matter of time that I would most likely develop breast cancer so I am grateful to God that although this surgery was more preventative, it has ended up being a blessing. Yes, there are the issues one deals with this type of surgery BUT, I have not looked back.

[@anamelendez5812]

I will be praying for your test results and the anxiousness this brings for sure . Blessings!

[@seektruth983]

Can there be mistakes in the pathology results and diagnosis?

[@Natalie82170]

There is no reason to leave it there. The entire tumor can be removed via vacuum assisted core needle biopsy. No woman should be left with a tumor in her breast unless she's okay with that. Why don't doctors tell women that they can have the entire tumor removed this way and not just a piece of it?

[@dammar117]

Exactly. Thank you for your common sense.

You are all brave woman I had 3 biopsy’s in the same day I am bruised really badly and took my covering off after 48 hours now I’m waiting for the results went on the 28 th of August and have to wait till the 18 th of September 2024 I’m from Britain so I don’t know whether it’s quicker whenever you are ? Whether it be USA or somewhere else wish me luck I’m kinder worried as I saw my Dad in a dream before I went for the mini surgery his now passed

[@karenstepien9791]

I have now had the operation the lymph nodes were taken out plus the lump and it was uncomfortable and lm still healing every now and then I get twinges and sharp pain and co co ordinal help I have a follow up appointment on the 3 rd of December I don’t know whether that is for results of the operation whether they got all the cancer out or to tell me about the next treatment the receptionist didn’t know any thing. ! So another set of appointments ! I don’t know whether I will decide on chemotherapy or radiation but if the cancer is completely gone then why would I put myself through more than my body can take if I am clear then I will decide what is right that means I won’t be going forward with chemotherapy or radiation thank you

[@Cheryl-t7b]

I had a core needle biopsy this morning. Will get the results Monday. The spot was very, very small. So even if it's cancerous, they caught it super early. Still anxious about what the results will be. I had pretty bad bruising, even though I used an ice pack.

[@GGTracyUK]

I just had multiple biopsy few weeks ago and I’m bruising and bleeding badly ..today I had undergone an ultrasound biopsy with titanium clip marker for further study with my left breast, I’m waiting for the result in 2 weeks time, hoping and praying it’s not cancerous!

[@princes540]

May God hear your prayer,am also believing for same miracle to happen in Jesus mighty name. By His stripes we are healed 🙏

[@maggieg5719]

Bleeding badly??? My radiation tech applied pressure to my breast after my biopsy for a few minutes to drain the lidocaine and a little bit of blood. It was no big deal. Something must not have been right. And you had to wait two weeks for your biopsy results??? I waited 7 days and that included a three-day weekend (that Monday was a holiday). All my doctors and surgeons are connected with my hospital, so I have what’s called a “portal”. I’m signed up so I can go online and look up my entire medical history and see all my test results as the come in, so I don’t actually have to wait on my doctor to sit down with me to discuss the results. In my case, this worked out better for me, because even though my breast specialist told me I had cancer, seeing the results can be a littledifferent. I handled the office visit much better and was fully able to absorb everything and write everything down that she was telling me as far as the treatment steps.

[@GGTracyUK]

@@maggieg5719 yes I had bruises, they explained it’s because they hit a blood vessel. Btw my result is not cancerous! Had my mammogram few weeks ago for further check up and I’m good.

I’m confused from my sonogram of my breast after having a mammogram…. My left breast has a ‘spot’, they stated it’s benign…. then they found 2 on my right breast…. again states One is benign but they other is a mass and a sono biopsy is needed. How can the tell that the 2 others are benign,but not the mass that is 3mm? I’m going through another’s medical problem while I’m going through this…. To say I’m a wreck is an understatement!!!! I know what pain is, I live with it daily, plus 50 years ago I had a colonoscopy in a doctors office with nothing for pain!!! That doctor was a blasted sadist!!!

had a biopsy done yesterday, My Experience was horrific and terrifying, The Dr. didn’t seem to be prepared, Every time he stuck the needle in he seemed to be struggling to get to the spot, it was like he was jamming the needle through, I did feel some pain, He asked the technician for a smaller needle she said they didn’t have any smaller needles, he took tissue further from the spot on one of his collections, and also when he placed the marker and brought back the needle he was looking at it and told the technician he needed a new marker, she left the room, I asked him what happened he said it’s just articraft and showed me the needle with broken little wires, and said it didn’t deploy, the technician came back and he put the new marker in, I was sent to another room for a mammogram. I called the Dr. office and asked to speak with someone concerning my biopsy and I needed to know if pieces of the marker were broken inside me, the lady that answered said the Dr. would call me back. He said not to worry the marker didn’t break and that’s the way the marker looked he also mentioned that he went further in grabbing tissue and if I had remembered that, he said it was perfectly fine that sometimes they don’t get the spot and not to worry. Well I’m worried, I don’t think this Dr. was prepared and I don’t think what I experienced is normal, now I have to wait on a pathology report that I don’t know will be accurate because of the biopsy and what if their is something broken inside of me that can’t be seen? I need advise please! What do I do?

No,I was saying if the lump is cancer, the biopsy might move some malignant cells into the blood stream or lymph system..but as it turned out my doctor convinced me to have a biopsy....I had the lump out later and my doctor said it was just starting to come out of the duct..my thoughts were, did the needle biopsy push some cells out of the duct..it'was small and they got it all but are suggesting radiation now to get any stragglers that might of got out of the area.

If 80% of biopsies are benign, Why breast cancer diagnosis are still high and we are encouraged to get screened and told that it is common ? and again if they 80% benign does that mean that 80% of biopsies are unnecessary? and that MRI should be done in que after ultrasound? and for those who do have malignant biopsy it takes longer time to start treatment which decrease chances of survival!
