Mammogram question for you ladies

Sophie, Clare and Suz - thank you so much! I'm feeling better and better. Sophie - I like your idea to allow yourself to worry the day before. After all, what good will it do to worry for three days?

Clare - you're right - it's much better to know and to find out early. If anything is wrong, then it's best to catch it early.

Suz- thanks - I'm hoping I'm in that category as well.

Once again - you ladies are so GREAT!!! Thanks so much for the support!!
 
Christine .. just had to say .. had the similar thing happen too .. at age 33 .. scared the H#### out of me .. I found the lump .. then had the mammogram .. which showed a fluid sac .. then ultra sound that showed that it was solid .. was referred to oncologist the next day .. he did the ultra sound himself .. and it did not show any fluid or solidity .. after SEVERAL follow ups every 3 months for a year .. no change .. and he ruled it benign! He was going to do a biopsy .. but b/c of the location he suggested the follow ups and to monitor it closely for any changes .. luckily there were none.

I too have dense breast .. (and find it funny too .. I am barely a B cup .. LOL) ... funny thing .. I did not know this but sometimes lumps in your breast can increase in size in conjunction w/your period .. this lump was increasing in size when I was on my period .. then it would go back down afterwards .. strange the workings of your body .. you know!!

so take a deep breath .. and try not to worry .. you have a lot of prayers and positive energy that is being sent your way!! Good luck!!
 
I've been called back after 2 mammograms. The first time scared me silly because they wanted to do an ultrasound to get a "better look" at "something" ;(

The second time they just took more pictures.

Both times everything came out just fine. All of my worry for nothing. :)

Let us know how it goes!

Good News!! Spoke to my doctor and the radiologist thinks the spot is only a calcium deposit in my milk duct. She did say that to be sure I could follow up with a specialist, and as I have to take DD17 anyway, I figured I may as well. But she said that even if it is anything, they'd have caught it so early that it would be like nothing. At least I get to enjoy my weekend!!

You ladies did a great job at putting my mind at ease. I feel 100% better!
 
Christine, that's GREAT news. Phew!!! What a relief! Thanks so much for teh update. You've been much on my mind.;) :)
 
Christine- you've been on my mind alot the last few days. I'm glad I took the time to peruse this tonight....having a slow moment at work
;-) I figured it was probably nothing....these things usually are.
We're all so happy it turned out well for our dear Christine.....
ps...cheetahs rule!!!

I'm glad to hear it's nothing serious Christine. As Jimmy says, breathe in, breathe out, move on. Have a nice relaxing weekend.
 
You gals are THE BEST!!! Thanks so much for all of your thoughts and prayers! I feel like I lost 50 pounds from the weight lifting off my shoulders!!
