[quote=Anonymous]I had breast cancer. They knew it was likely on the WRA Fairfax mammogram. Called me 2 weeks later and said you have to come NOW for an ultrasound at WRA Bethesda can you be here at 1? Yikes. Radiologist said yes she thought it was and they booked me right there for the biopsy back at WRA Fairfax. In between I contacted a Sibley surgeon my PCP recommended. Started forms, they wanted the biopsy results to stage for surgery. So mammogram was July 1 2021, ultrasound July 16, biopsy July 23, result July 27. Surgery August 24 to let biopsy heal. In between got MRI to image the clip and prepare for wire guide for surgeon. So under 2 months for whole thing. Including the biopsy area healing. This was fast. I knew at ultrasound so could prepare. It was invasive ductal and I asked to see, you could see the bustout from the duct. All this is to say I don't know what has changed to make it take so long to get follow up imaging.[/quote]
