They will be doing the biopsy to find out first if it is indeed cancer, then to see what type it is. What type of biopsy are you having? I had a stereotactic one last summer. I am surprised your doctor told you about what would happen in worst case senerio already. I am glad you are getting it checked out. In the vast majority if cases it is not cancer and I hope and pray that is the case for you. If it is, at least you have obviously caught it early. Be sure to let us know what they say.

thank you Nancy, was your test last year negative? my report also said i was a catagory 4b acording to the bi-rid. i hope its nothing.

Yes, my test was negative. The radiologist told me that suspicious masses only have a 5% chance of being cancer. I hope that statistic holds true for you.

What type of biopsy are you having?
