I have such anxiety I don’t want to leave my house. My Birads score is 5!
I know this is scary!
Something to keep in mind, more biopsies are negative than positive. Worse case scenario, it is positive, most breast cancers are curable, and do not require chemo.
Hoping for a negative biopsy!
How can you manage the anxiety before your biopsy tomorrow?
It's completely understandable to feel scared and anxious right now. A BI-RADS 5 score means the radiologist found something highly suspicious, but the biopsy is needed to know for certain what you're dealing with. Many MyBCTeam members have shared similar Show Full Answer
Hi Nancy- have another ice pack handy for when you get home- I only live about 15-20 minutes from the center, and that little ice pack in the bra, while helpful, doesn't last long. Like rosegardengal said- a bit of bruising and tenderness, but recovery wasn't an issue. I had taken the day off work for it- but was back the next day! The time waiting for results is hard- keeping you in prayers for all good news delivered quickly. (and most of the time lumps are benign). But whatever the outcome, you have us to lean on. Hugs!
The waiting can sometimes be the hardest part, especially early on when you are going through various tests and waiting for appointments, procedures, test results, etc. Ask the doctor to layer the numbing medication at various depths when they inject it since it can make a difference pain wise. They should also give you a little frozen thing you can put in your bra afterwards that helps some with the swelling. You will probably get a bruise and the biopsy spot will be tender, but in my experience recovering from breast biopsies isn't too bad. Good luck with your biopsy tomorrow ❤️

Good luck with your biopsy.
Sending hugs and prayers.
I was just wondering how many people who are diagnosed with breast cancer did not have any symptoms.
