I'm just now seeing this - have you heard anything yet? Good thoughts and prayers coming you way!

[sandragonfly]

gee whiz, waiting is bothering me, call back now!? they would wait or wouldn't rush to make a call if it's not important.. I'd rather not important than waiting.

let us know let us know...

Thanks everyone! I have my cell phone on and I have been checking my answering machine at home every hour or so and they have my work number. The thing is that if there is something bad that they find, they (the radiologists office, I am told) would be calling my doctors office and am told that my doctor's office would call me right away. If it is "normal" then my doctors office would get a copy of the report most likely the same day I get one in the mail. So, as much as the waiting is killing me, I am hoping I don't get a call and just a piece of paper in the mail. Your continued good thoughts and prayers are much appreciated.

Well, 1 week yesterday and as of this afternoon I still hadn't heard anything. So, I decided to call my doctors office. I was informed that they had received the report, but it was sitting in the Assistants mailbox to be reviewed and she wouldn't be in until Monday. I said, so you are going to make me wait another weekend? She told me to hold on, this is the nurse. She got the report and read it, told me that it appears that nothing has changed since the last one in August and that they recommend another in 6 months. Nurse said she would show the report to the Assistant on Monday and have her review and decide if anything needs to be done right now, like refer me to a surgeon. If nothing has changed, why would I need to see a surgeon and why do they have to scare people? Don't they realize people have feelings and concerns and are not just a number. I guess not. Well, anyway I am not sure, but think this is good. I'll know more on Monday I guess.

That is just terrible lots of hugs and prayers for you and a pox on the medical facilty you have to use.

[furrykidsmother]

Thanks Corinna! I called the office back yesterday at 2:55. She asked me what I was calling about (she had forgotten), then said Oh, she never gave me back the report. Give me your number and I will get right back to you. I left work at 5:00 and never got a call. I am going to assume that is a good thing, but I am in search of a new doctor today. Maybe one that will be a little more considerate.

[JenBKR]

Geez, they're not very thoughtful are they? (((hugs))) Good luck searching for a more considerate doctor!

[sandragonfly]

eesh... sounds like it's time for you to find a considerate one is absolutely correct!

well, haven't they called in today yet?

I too, will assume it means good news! I remember you had to call them a several times and they answered but said nothing critically.

(((hugs & hugs))) sorry for frustration!

[furrykidsmother]

Thank you everyone for your good thoughts and prayers. As usual they seem to have done the trick. Finally after I sent a letter requesting my records be forwarded to a new doctor they found the time to call me and explain my results. It appears that nothing has changed since the last Mammogram and that is good. No mass found or obvious problem, so they confirmed 6 month re-check. I appreciate all the good thoughts, prayers and hugs everyone sent. BTW am in the process of getting a new doctor. Can't keep going through this. Again thank you all!!

[sandragonfly]

oh hi, glad you could update!

good for you! some may don't mind waiting but I wouldn't want someone who kept on saying they will contact you and not.

good luck, hope the next new one deserves you!
