biopsy-lump missed?

I had a breast biopsy a couple of weeks ago.  They said that they got only healthy breast tissue and that it looked "too" healthy to be accurate.   Now I have been referred to a surgeon to go over my mamogram (mammogram)/biopsy films.
It sounded like they want me to have a lumpectomy.

I dont understand why they just dont do another biopsy.   I will ask more questions with the surgeon on Friday but am not sure what all to ask.   They are going to have to convince me I need this lump removed before I let them cut on me, I just had major surgery in July and more surgery, no matter how small, is what I want.

Thanks, any info/experience will be apprecitated.

If they do another biopsy they may miss it again. When the biopsy needle is put it the breast it pushes the tissue away so it is hard sometimes to get a sample. A lumpectomy is not that bad from what I have read. What type of biopsy did you have? Was it a core needle biopsy? Those are better to get samples if you want another biopsy.
