Looking for stereotactic breast biopsy availability in Houston / Medical Center area
Hello everyone,
My wife recently had a mammogram after her doctor found breast calcifications. Because there is a family history of cancer, we are understandably worried and trying to move quickly.
Her doctor recommended a stereotactic breast biopsy, but we were told there may be a national shortage of the needles needed for the procedure. We live in Houston, Texas, near the Medical Center, and I’ve been trying to find a facility that has availability or the necessary supplies, but so far I haven’t had much luck.
Has anyone in Houston dealt with this recently? Does anyone know of any hospitals, imaging centers, breast centers, or specialists that may be able to perform a stereotactic biopsy right now?
Any advice, recommendations, or direction would be greatly appreciated. We’re just trying to find a place that can help us understand our options and move forward.
Thank you so much!
