I have lump in my breast, went for mammogram and sonar, then biopsy, but now dr wants to do wire biopsy, but medical aid does not want to pay, should i worry about the procedure, or what else can i do?

Excision Biopsy: Your physician is concerned about abnormal tissue in your breast. Thus far this tissue remains unidentified and this procedure will help your physician in a proper diagnosis. You may have to petition your medical aid for financial support to cover this procedure. Do what you must to determine what treatment, if any, is needed at this time.
