Hi! last week I went for a mammogram, my "annual" except that it was 2 years since my previous, don't know why I put it off. My doctor's office called back, said they wanted another one. so today I go back, had another, just on the left side. then the tech called me back to see if I had a mole. I don't. she said it looked like something close to the skin. so I had to go for an ultrasound. that took a long time, or it seemed to anyway. the tech left for awhile then came back and said the radiologist would read the results and send them to my doctor who would call me. I asked when, and she said this evening or tomorrow, certainly before the weekend.
so I am nervously waiting. I guess I have no questions yet- might as well wait for the doctor to call wiht the results. takes a biopsy to confirm cancer, right? I can't feel anything unusual. at least something under the skin will be easy to get to do I would think? waiting is awful, isn't it? any words of wisdom? I haven't told my husband - thought I would wait until there is something to tell.

That's a drag they wouldnt tell you right there. Making you wait is so tension producing. Many seem to tell you right there. At least they did for me. Said right off the bat it was suspicious, etc, etc.

Try not to get too worked up until you actually have something to get worked up about. Of course hoping that doesnt happen. Let us know.

I'm waiting with you. My dr just called a few min ago & I have to go for ultrasound next week. I don't know about you but I probably won't sleep a wink for worrying. Wish I could say something that would help. Good luck & let us know what happens.

And oblivious me, was just the opposite. They never find anything on my tests, so I am not even worried. Shocked when they say suspicious. You know the rest.

it's just a small cyst! no further measures needed. I'm so relieved.
sammi2, I hope you have good news also.

i too am playing the waiting game. it is really scary. i had more tests yesterday and am seeing a specialist on the 20th, so i suppose after that visit i will be waiting again to get a biopsy done and the results for that. i will keep you in my prayers all of you.
