I get my results tomorrow. My brother is coming to the hospital with me, he was so good about it when I told him what was going on. After the biopsy I was very shaken up but as the days go by, my previous positive attitude has returned. My research has taken me to a condition known as fat necrosis. One of the nurses mentioned that the tissue could be scar tissue and I guess this is where some of the 7 of the 8 cases of non BC at abnormal mammogram fall. Fat necrosis is caused by trauma, is benign and will generally repair itself. Six weeks before my mammogram I walked into a glass door. I happened to be holding a large plate at the time and I remember it hurt, the scratch on the door is the same height as where the biopsy was taken. Maybe just a coincidence, I'm hoping and praying it's not.
