I didn't get the happy, "Everything looked fine," letter. I got the ominous, "Please call about your mammogram," phone call. *sigh* I had a fibroadenoma removed from my right breast about ten years ago and got another, "please call us," phone call about five years ago (cysts in left breast). For being so stinking small, they have sure caused me enough problems.

I'm scheduled for a spot compression mammo (yay! my favorite thing!) and possible ultrasound on 3/13. Pat me on the head and tell me I'll be okay. Thanks.

Must be the time of year......I got the same phone call a few days ago and Im having the spot compression views done on 3/11 so you pat me on the head and I'll pat you on the head and we'll both be just fine.

Good Luck to the both of you

[VivaLasViejas]

You BOTH will be fine, 'K?

I know how scary this can be. I had a fibroadenoma when I was 28, then when I was 46 I had some calcifications on a routine mammogram that hadn't been there a year earlier, so I got a call-back for the ever-popular spot compression view. To say I was nervous would've been the understatement of the century......a friend of mine had just been diagnosed with breast CA not a week before.

Fortunately, all turned out OK. I didn't even need a biopsy. And when I went back for a follow-up six months later, there was nothing at all in that area except normal tissue. Who knows what it was..........at any rate, it was an enormous relief.

I feel for ya, ladies. But you WILL be OK.........OK?
