Pneumothorax…
When they puncture your breast to make the two core needle biopsy holes & the needle hits the chest wall & maybe makes a small puncture & you can a teeny tiny lung collapse effect because the needle hit the chest wall, & for two months after the biopsy you are drinking water & it seems to be going into your lungs instead of down your water pipe & you think you might get pneumonia & are confused…
Pneumothorax…That’s the word for that when that happens during a biopsy on a smallbreasted woman whose lump is close to the chest wall…
Ask me how I know…
To find out if there is a pneumothorax in your chest wall from a breast biopsy they can do a chest X ray or better yet but more expensive so you will have to twist their arm, a CT scan which is a series of pictures from many perspectives that then forms a 3 dimensional image…
A serious pneumothorax can be stitched up…or you could just take Arnica pills, drink Aloe, & plot your revenge! (i think the massage event last week massaged into the pneumothorax from last year’s biopsy(probably only one I will ever have)…
On the upside I would never have known the word if it didn’t hurt recently…Silver lining to every cloud my math teacher says…
