Having an "event" in my own life. Two weeks ago I got my mammogram report back and everything was fine. Yesterday I received a follow-up report. It seems that they compared my new mammo to my baseline (1997) and I now need to have a comprehensive/diagnostic mammogram and possibly a sonogram, if the c/d mammo still raises questions. So, had an appointment with my internal meds doc this morning and she told me not to stress about it (uh-huh) and that any changes require a comprehensive and if that still raises questions, a sonogram. She said the notice she received didn't even flag anything to her. There were some possible changes in the right side near the lymph nodes but there was no sign of cancer or lumps. Doc didn't seem upset by it. So, I have an appointment for the follow-up mammo Thursday the 11th at 2:45. Wish they could have gotten me in sooner, but that was the first available. She also said that our regular mammos are just a screening and it is not unusual for a comprehensive. On the positive side, even stressing about this for a day, my blood pressure was a nice low 120/70. Working out really does make a difference :)

I'm very impressed that your BP didn't spike - your kick-#$$ workouts are certainly paying off in that department.
All the best,

Sassy,
Last year when I went to my yearly physical my doctor scheduled my anual mamogram and then when he did my exam he said I'd like you to have a sonogram.

Sassy, sounds it's just a precautionary message, but I know it will be weighing on your mind until you know for sure. That's only natural. I'm overdue for a mammogram and must make an appt. Congratulations on your blood pressure. That's a bright spot.
Positive thoughts are coming your way.

Time invested in improving ourselves cuts down on time disapproving of others.
