Again?!?!?
So, I went this week for my first mammogram. Who ever said "it's no biggie??" OK, it wasn't too bad, just uncomfortable. That was yesterday, today I got a call. The lady very kindly told me that most (20%) people after having their first mammogram have to come back to do it again. She than continued to tell me that the Dr didn't like what she saw in the left side. She did say that the Dr didn't think that it was anything bad. Probably just a bad picture. So, needless to say, I get to go back to be pressured again! She said, "don't worry, it's probably nothing." To make things a little worse. . . They can't see me until next week! argh!!! It's really no big deal, right??? :)

I say no big deal...try to stay busy and don't worry. If they were really concerned they would get you in right away. Take care :)
Stephanie like Erin said...
Don't Worry about it too much!
If they thought it was a big deal they would have you in there tomorrow.....
We will keep you and your family in our prayers.
Steph, It is very common for them to do this. I would say about 1/2 of my patients had to go back for extra pictures. Majority of the time it was nothing to worry about. It just sucks to have to be smashed again :) Good Luck and keep me informed!
Stephanie, this happens to my mom pretty much every other time she has a mammogram. I'm sure everythings fine, it just doesn't help to hear, "it's probably nothing,but...!" Keep us updated! We'll keep you in our prayers!
Ouch!! But, better to be safe than sorry, huh? I'm SO not looking forward to my first one...
Steph my mom had to go back two times before they got everything cleared but her Dr explained it as this is the picture that they will go off of from here on out so they need to make sure everything is clear so that way in the future if something new comes up they will easily see it. Good luck!!
Ok I won't say don't worry because I know me and I would anyways. Ok from the medical aspect. It is a good thing for them to detailed with these. As them if they used the digitally enhance pictures( i think that is what it is called.) this gives them a better detailed picture. Plus always use the same place that way they can compare. Hey think of it this way your other sisters and mom will be doing this shortly. YEAH US!!!
It will all be ok.
