Had the PT scan on Tuesday, and am having 3 biopsies today. Dr. Bird gave an almost painless Novocain shot(s). I guess he has a little trick where he puts a little sodium bicarbonate in with the Novocain – whatever he does – I wish all Dr’s would do it. It definitely takes some of the longer sting out of the experience.
He was only able to do 2 of the biopsies, so I will have to come back tomorrow for a “stereo” biopsy – which is the biopsy of the original mass site. He couldn’t see it clearly on ultrasound as there is nothing there – so he will use a mammogram machine to find the clip left from the first biopsy and then take samples from around that.

I’m also scheduled for a brain MRI tomorrow as well.
