nerding out

I consult with Dr. Google with my endless stream of questions.

  • Fine needle aspiration biopsy?
  • core needle biopsy? ultrasound-guided?
  • vacuum-assisted biopsy?
  • excision biopsy?
  • Why are we doing what we're doing?
  • How long do I have to wait for results? Who will give me results?
  • How long is this procedure?
  • How long till I go back to work?
  • Are there side effects?
  • What's the follow up?
Of course, the more I learn about the possibilities, the less I know about my specific case. I just have to meet the doctor and hope he's good at communicating and surgery.
