I had a ultrasound and digital mammogram for large mass in my L breast, the radiologist reported it is very suspicious with calcifications and the lymph nodes are also enlarged. I have been rescheduled by the facility doing this several times for biopsies of both of these sites. It will be over 2 weeks since I was told I need to biopsies, how dangerous is this to wait to get these done.

welcome to hcm ..if the radiologist is suspecting some malignancy then 2 weeks interval is not a much time and i donot think that lesion will increase excessively in this 2 weeks period so just relax and go for biopsy as that biopsy will the final test to make diagnosis if the physical or radiologically diagnosis is not hundred percent accurate
