Q: if my doc wants to do a biopsy on my boob, does it mean i have breast cancer? i never had one before?

: A biopsy it the way they decide whether an unusual finding is a cancer or something else that does not require special treatment. Doing the biopsy means your doc is being thorough and wants to know. I would not assume the test means you have it.
