However knowing that there are careing people is a big comfort to me!
The placing of the radioactive seed is new...its just so the dr can locate lesion with a giger type counter...it is removeed with the lesion!
I will be watching for the Pink Bus! hugs to allView Thread

the seed is placed just for location of the lesion and than removed immediately with lesion....in excisional biopsy...9 days for results!
It is so scary not knowing....I am prepared to march ahead and fight this if it turns out to be malignant. Just really annoyed dr. mmissed with the stero tactic biopsy...but she was honest with me and thats the upside of this.
Again thank you so much for responding! will be looking for Pinky!View Thread

Of course, I am concerned....but trying to be optimistic, its been the entire summer! seems everyone goes on vacation in august.....pls say prayers.
They are inserting a small radioactive seed in the breast by a radiologist, than they will use a small giger counter to locate seed and than remove lesion and seed. Has anyone had this proceedure? Any information will be appreciatedView Thread
