2 days agoWhile it's understandably frightening to face the possibility of cancer in the opposite breast so soon after treatment, this situation does happen and many community members have shared similar experiences. The stereotactic biopsy will provide the clear answers needed, and remember that finding small masses early - if they are cancerous - often leads to better treatment outcomes.
