Benign

Results on my breast biopsies are back:

Both areas are benign.

Major phew over here.

I had tried and mostly succeeded in not panicking. But I am super relieved, nonetheless.

Both came back as fibroadenomas. I was told I can leave them alone and there's no risk of malignancy, but if they are "bothering me," they can be removed.

The biopsy sites are feeling much less tender than they were, for anyone facing a similar procedure. One is very ugly, having bloomed into generous green and bluish hues, but it doesn't hurt that much so I just had to reassure Magpie last night when she saw "Mommy's owie" that I'm ok.

So big sigh of relief over here. Thank you so much for your thoughts as I waited. It meant a lot. If you could send your well-wishes and support to Mrs. Green Grass who is facing a breast biopsy this week as well, and is unfortunately a BRCA-2 carrier, I'm sure she would appreciate. I am hoping very strongly that she gets the same benign results as me.
