[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was also surprised that Washington Radiology said for a needle biopsy they need to leave a metal tab inserted in your breast for tracking. Getting surprised by that really spiked my anxiety so you might want to prepare for that part in advance too. I ultimately declined the metal tab but they were really pushing it. [/quote] I got one. We were pretty sure it was cancer from the ultrasound onwards. The clip helps find the exact place (my cancer was just 4 mm) to find it for surgery. They take it out during surgery. I didn't feel anything putting it in or afterwards. [/quote]
