I've had 7 biopsies, is this the norm.waiting for MRI results now,
Morning Kittycougar hope the biopsies weren't to painful I think how many they do depends on what bits they want to check ,how many lumps ,positioning etc I had 5 1for each lump and 2 on the lymph nodes and then they put markers in so that they can check sizing with ultrasound at regular intervals to see if the chemo is doing its job painful at the time but ment they could get me an exact diagnosis and start treatment quicker
Hugs xxxD
