My mother is battling breast cancer for the second time in her life. She strongly urged me to get a mammogram because of the history, so I obliged. My OB wrote me a script for a mammogram and ultrasound. Well, I had that done a week or two ago. However Friday I got a call on my voicemail at work from the mammography place. I called back this morning and they want me to come back. The radiologist found some questionable areas in my right breast and she wants to take some additional views, spot compression or something.
Now, I’m only 29 years old. I’ll be honest and say that I haven’t really done any self-exams because honestly, I have NO idea what to look for. I did find this little ‘diagram’ though, and while I wasn’t too nervous initially, this doesn’t make me feel better…
Now, I had an ultrasound too, but the woman I spoke to (who could be a clueless receptionist) said that it’s probably nothing, since I had an ultrasound too, but who knows if they are telling me everything… probably not.
So today, I worry…
Good luck.
