Hi just had a call to say core biopsy showed some b3 cells so they want another core biopsy done !
anyone else had this happen please??
it just means more waiting and uncertainty- I could cry !
Hi Esta
I am sorry you are waiting again, it is very frustrating. I found a useful page on biopsies on the breast cancer now website. I have tried to paste in the link but it won’t work. The address is
www.breastcancernow.org
Type in breast biopsy scroll down and look under section 6 where it explains the different results. It won’t give you a definitive answer but it will give you an idea of why they want to do another one. I hope you find this useful. Sending you a big virtual hug
Hi ESTA, sorry to hear you have to have another core biopsy and more waiting. I’ve not had this but I’m wishing you good luck and good results so you can move on to your plan asap.
Hugs from cuffcake x x x x x
Hi Esta, sorry to hear that you have to have another core biopsy done. This can happen during the diagnosis phase and it is stressful as the whole puzzle is not figured out yet.
This link does discuss B3 cells so should be helpful. I read it too as I was not familiar with that term. Always learning new things. https://insightsimaging.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/s13244-021-01005-6
I do understand how you feel and a good cry can help to release all the tension. It is good that your Doctors are being thorough as want to have everything sorted out before treatment begins.
Hugs to you. Will be thinking of you.
