Prayers needed Mammogram tests back I had a mammogram test done on the 30th and i got a letter in the mail saturday .it said that my diagnostic mammogram and screening mammogram .show the need for further evaluation.it says my procedures have been sent to my health care provider, it says it is important that i call my health care providerto discuss the details and decide together what the next steps of your medical care should be .well i called herf at 10:00 this morning and got a answering machine and it told me to leave a message and the doctor will get back with me . it"s now 1:00 and still no call ,if she dont call back in the next hour I"m gonna call her back this letter really scares the hell out of me. |
The best thing to do is to say calm and positive. I had the same thing happen to me and had to go in for a biopsy. Turns out to be nothing at all, so I still don't understand it all. I've had a couple of friends have the exact same thing happen to them as well. Think positive!!! ;) |
I don't know why they send letters out like that. A doctor should call. It is so scary. That happened to me and I got the letter on Friday after work and couldn't get ahold of anyone until Monday. Then my doctor(ex doctor) told me it was up to me to follow up on it. It turned out a repeat mamo to be just a positional thing. I will keep you in my prayers. |
I had that happen to me as well. I know it's scary. Try to take a deep breathe and not think about it too much. Of course, be sure to talk to your doctor and investigate but try not to worry too much.... |
That is a scary thing..but stay positive...don't automatically think the worst....hard I know..but stay strong...my thoughts and prayers are with you. Keep us updated hon. |
My doctor called and they want me to come in tomorrow afternoon so they can talk to me so now its gonna be another stressfull night . |

Sending prayers and good vibes your way. |
I certainly hope that all is okay for you. I am a 9 year breast cancer survivor, and I can tell you that, at the time, I was not told in a letter to get another test. However, a couple years ago I got one of those letters, and believe me, I was terrified. It was nothing, and things continue to be normal. Best of luck to you. |
Take a deep breath!! The chance that it anything serious to worry about is small. I know because this happened to me a few years ago. I got that dang letter in the mail, called my Doctor, Went in to have an ultrasound, then a needle biopsy. Very scary stuff. I did have to have a surgical biopsy in the hospital because the others were inconclusive, by that point I figured I had breast cancer. I didn't, I had micro calcifications which they removed in the hospital biospy. All that and it was nothing but months of stress & worrying. My mammograms come back clean now. My best friend got one of those letters saying she needed to come back in & it was just because the mammographer forgot to note a mole on one of her breasts. I'l keep you in my prayers though! |
Thinking of you good Thoughts Hey girl don't get all worked up ! take a deep breathe and exhale - Ive just been thru all of this mammo taken - retaken needle biobsy and then surgery on the 16th of Oct All was scary for sure but I ended coming out of it a-ok ! Im still quite sore will take a while to heal ! So my thoughts and prayers are here or you ! |
Prayers your way! |
I will keep you in my thoughts hug: and prayers :hands:. I know that type of letter is scary and you have visions of the worst. BUT many times tests are read wrong and/or what appears to be something winds up being nothing. |
First of all, know that we're sending good thoughts your way!!!!! Next, listen to what everyone else has said. I know it'll be almost impossible but try to stay calm until you know anything further. I'm sorry that you got that letter, you really should have gotten a call from your doctor but that's in the past now. Again, the results could have been due to so many things. My Mom goes through that all the time, she now has to get an ultrasound with every mammogram since they always come back needing further results. Think good thoughts and best of luck with your doctor this afternoon. We're hoping all turns out well! :love-hug3 |
Keep us posted Don't get ahead of yourself. Maybe they just need to do an ultrasound to get a more defined look at things. Pleas eknow I'll be thinking of you and sending you good thoughts. Please let us know the finding. |
