I got a call back yesterday to come in for another mammogram and a diagnostic ultrasound.
I refuse to Google anything or tell anyone but my dh, and I think I'm hurting his feelings because I don't want him to go (he has physical therapy on his ankle that morning and he's in constant pain with it), and because I've been a bit flippant about what might be wrong.
Yes, I'm worried, and nervous, and concerned. I just remember when I was waiting for my MS confirmation, and I hated all of the pity and worried looks. I adore my neurologist because he cracked a joke while I was waiting to be admitted instead of patting my hand and telling me it would be okay.
I just want to be as normal as we typically are, until we find out something. And for me, that's joking. So, I'm holding it in when I just really want to say something smart-assed.
*sigh* I can't decided if I dread next Wednesday or want it over.

That happened to me last year. I was so worried, because they were also prepared for biopsy, if needed. But when I went back the mamo and ultrasound showed nothing and so no biopsy. This years mamo (a week ago) had no issues. Maybe you just took a bad photo.
I know it's hard not to worry.... (and I didn't tell anyone else except DH either)
Good thoughts your way.

I've had those call backs and it was fine. Keep positive and try not to worry.

When I had my HUGE and I mean HUGE boobs before my reduction, I always had to have extra pics taken. But I always stayed for the results. If your DH can go with you--let him. |

I've been called back several times. One time I was told they needed more pics and then they'd determine if I needed an ultrasound. Since i'd been recalled before I was sure they'd take the additional images and set me free. I was stunned when they took me right to ultrasound....thankfully I got the all clear there.
So hopefully they're just being cautious!

I've had those call backs and it was fine. Keep positive and try not to worry. Yes.........and on the call back, they knew how worried I was (as were the other women there for call back). We waited and got the results right away. |

We waited and got the results right away. I'm scheduled for early in the morning so that I'll be finishing right after the radiologist gets there. |

Did they mention that you have dense breast tissue? I've had to go back because the breast tissue was too dense to see anything. Good luck!

All they said was that the radiologist wanted me to come back in for the two additional tests. I can access my tests results online but they haven't been posted yet. |

The results may not be posted at all until the additional views are complete. Sometimes, they consider those additional views part of the initial mammogram (depends on the facility... some facilities will always wait for the additional views to be completed).

I had my first callback last year and was sick with worry, dragged DH in with me, and it turned out to be nothing. This year, I had another callback, and while worried, was less so than last time. Went alone and it all turned out to be nothing again. Hang in there!
