Questions to ask when meeting with Doctor for Biopsy for Breat Cancer

[The Great One]

I am so hysterical at this point that I cant think straight.  I need some intelligent questions to ask the Doctor when I meet with him later today to discuss having a biopsy to hopefully rule out breast cancer.  Can anyone help?

Dear Great One:  Some possible questions to ask might be 1.  What type of biopsy do you recommend and what can I expect before, during, and after the procedure.  2.  When and how will I receive the results of the biopsy.  Some other questions may be generated during the discussion and follow up questions will depend upon the results.

I'm sure you've already seen the Dr. but a biopsy (if recommended) is certainly the way to go ..... the results would more than likely ease your mind. If you saw a competant surgeon he should have explained enough so that you had few questions left. I truly hope that he put your mind at ease. Good luck ......
