In May of 99 I made the mistake of going to a free mammogram place where I do not feel I received the greatest doctor. She must have obviously seen something suspicious because she did a needle biopsy which she says turned out benign.
In September of 2000 I was diagnosed with breast cancer from a much more reputable place. An incisional biopsy was done to receive the results.
My question is, why would some doctors do a needle biopsy, they don't seem to be too accurate? If I had received the proper treatment I'm sure my cancer would have been caught in the pre-cancer stage, but now I have invasive cancer and my life will always be at risk. I was never even warned to return within six months for another mammogram,I was just sent away thinking everything was OK.
