I have had many biopsies over the last several years. I have had surgical biopsies, needle biopsies and stereotactic biopsies. In addition, I have had a lumptectomy for breast cancer. My lumptectomy site healed very well and my surgical biopsies for calcifications have healed very well, all done by the same breast surgeon. In fact, up until now, you would hardly notice that I have had anything done to either breast as I heal rather well. However, the radiolgist who performed two stereotactic biopsies on me over the years has left me with hematomas. After the first one was performed I had a hematoma about the size of a gumball. That lasted for approx. 5 mos. This last stereotactic biopsy 3 mos ago initially left me purple bruising for about a month and a hematoma the approximate size of a peach which after 3 mos. is now the approximate size of a walnut. As I know that my skin heals well, is this the sign of an inexperienced radiologist or what? I know of many women who have had this procedure and have not been left with anything like this. As it is 3 mos. already and my breast still isnt back to normal, im beginning to wonder if it truly makes a difference as to who does the biopsy?
