Hey guys, I just wanted to update you on my appointment today. Got to the office at 8:45 AM for my 9:00 appointment, and the doctor showed up past 10, so after an hour and a half of waiting, I finally got called in. Basically, whatever sample was sent in from the fine needle aspiration biopsy was inconclusive, meaning they didn't get enough of a sample or it was benign, but he wanted to be sure, so he wanted to do a follow up ultrasound today and do another needle aspiration (since it's less invasive and doesn't require any numbing). I told him I'm too worried to wait another week, to get inconclusive results, and just asked him to do the Core Biopsy.
It really wasn't all that bad, they numbed me up with some lidocaine, but passed on the epinephrine?? because of the pregnancy. He said he was only doing the core biopsy because of how scared I was. He said he still thinks it's a complex cyst, and the reason he couldn't aspirate it is because the fluid might have gelatinized. He also said he thinks the radiologist was being overly cautious and he completely would have held off on testing if she hadn't labeled it an atypical fibroadenoma. Also, the ultrasound tech said if he was really concerned, he'd have done the core biopsy last time. So I guess that's a good sign that he didn't even want to do it today, until I pressured him by saying I'm terrified I'll die and won't see my baby grow up (I became completely irrational and terrified).
He told me the thinks its benign and seemed to be getting somewhat impatient with me because he said his reassurance wasn't getting through to me. I guess til I hear it's 100% benign I wont relax. He said they'll call me with the results next week, and I asked, so I won't have to come in? and he said no they'll tell you over the phone (which means he's not concerned, right?) and to come back and see him in 6 weeks. Anyway, I'm hoping for the best, and thank you guys for all your well wishes and positive thoughts. They meant so much!

Fingers crossed the results come back super quick and are exactly what the doc predicts!
