    Mammogram Check Up Day - Good/Bad News

    6 years ago to this very day I had a lump removed. Today is my annual mammogram to check up and ensure nothing's come back. Just a reminder to all you ladies out there - get checked!!

    It's a pain, literally, but so worth the peace of mind.

    Congratulations!

    When I get my annual mammogram, it is a pain, but I think of it as doing it in honor of all the breast cancer survivors, and victims I know. Makes the time go easier, as I list them in my head.

    Well all, it was a tough evening. My mammogram came back just fine, no issues. HOWEVER, it's my other girl parts that are severely abnormal and require a biopsy inside of the next 3 months. On a scale of 1-3, with 3 being the worst, yep, I scored a 3. That's me, always striving to be the best! Shocking part is I've never had an abnormal pap, ever.

    Oh boy..

    Why aren't they doing the biopsy right away, if this is a #3 level concern?

    Sending positive vibes out to you Gayle.

    I was wondering the same as what Pat said - why such a wait??? But then, Canada operates a whole lot differently than the U.S. in the healthcare department, as I have learned from another Canadian friend.

    Gayle, if it was REALLY horrid they would have packed you into a hospital NOW for a biopsy! I hope the biopsy is soon so you don't have to wait.

    HUGS!

    I agree with Karen. If they found something dangerous, you would have been called in sooner. Sending my prayers and the crew sends their head bumps.
