You can cancel your biopsy!

Yes, I did have a biopsy of the chest wall scheduled for early next week which I have been able to cancel!!
A few spots were showing up that looked familiar. like the previous rash. I had my radiologist take a look. He had me schedule a biopsy 2 weeks out which I did. He wanted to see me again before the biopsy to see if he felt it was necessary. After checking it the other day, he feels I am ok to cancel!
He prescribed a lotion to apply to the radiated area and will see me again after my PET scan which will be some time here in January.
For now, I very happily called and canceled my appointment!

"Like all humans, you carry within you awesome survival mechanisms. All you need is the knowledge to trigger them. Once triggered, they will provide you with all the energy and health that you need to better survive. Take advantage of your innate power. Nourish yourself properly, live better, and live longer". - Ori Hofmekler

According to Eric Winer, MD, chief scientific advisor to Susan G Komen for the Cure®, the treatment of metastatic breast cancer has evolved dramatically over the past 10 years, and will evolve even more in the next decade. "I look forward to a time when metastatic breast cancer will be entirely manageable with well tolerated therapy. It may be quite some time before we can cure metastatic disease, but women with metastatic breast cancer can expect to live far longer and far better in the years ahead than in the past. "
