OT: Mamogram results.
I had my Mamogram on Jan 22. I got a call last Monday to come back for a redo on the right side.
I went today and after was taken to a room to see a doctor. They found some very small specs. They called them deposits. She wants to do a biopsy. Luckly they had an opening for tomarrow morning. Then it will take about 10 days for the oficial results.
I guess since I lost 90 lbs they can see things better now. I am kind of numb and tearful too.
Even the word biopsy is frightening. What kind of cruel joke is this when I am just beginning to feel healthy.
Julie was with me. She just got very quiet. She said just what we need more bad news.
I told her now don't feel like that. This is good news. It is so small that if I do need treatment, it is very early and we can nip it in the bud. I am hoping there isn't anything to worry about.
Please send some positive energy and prayers our way.
Thank You for being my friends.

First off, I'm a guy but I do have several family members in the medical field, and perhaps this bit of info will help rest some of your fears.
The number ONE thing doctors are concerned with is not your health, it's malpractice lawsuits for thier mistakes and overlooks. Almost every doctor I've came in contact will be vigilant with all sorts of tests to make sure that something is NOT the issue (not that it IS the issue).
For the doc, it's better for him/her to be safe then sorry and document that you've had a biopsy for these "specs". I'm sure things are similar in your case. Way more than likely, your fine. Obviously, I can't guarantee anything but I suspect you have nothing to worry about.
On the other side of the coin, be glad your having the biopsy to rest your fears permanently.
Best of luck!!!!
Take Care & Good Luck,
Jason

I was just a little freaked out before. The doctor did say something about calcium deposits. Because I remember asking her if it was because of taking so much calcium due to WLS. She said it was not the same thing. I guess I am a little freaked because every year I get called back for a redo or ultrasound and have never had them say biopsy to me. I think when she said that I was in awe. and just floored. My mind just went daft.
I am sure hoping, that It will be alright and just precautionary.

Try not to freak out!!
You have tons of support here and with your family.
Don't think of it as a cruel joke. Think of it as you are in the best health of your life and no matter what comes at you, you can handle it. We will keep praying it's nothing but a scare.
It's going to be a sucky 10 days waiting for results. We'll try to entertain you and keep your mind off of things.
Everything is going to be fine!!
I hope they don't make you wait 10 days to get good news, because I'm sure that's what you'll get....good news.
I'll be sending you up some good thoughts.
Good luck,
Edie

My Hubby is on his way in tonight so he will go with me for the test. And my son will stay here and call him if the electrician needs any thing special.
We found the leak and got that patched yesterday. The flashing under the tarpaper roof stuff was twisted and letting water run in the wall and to the box.
I am so sick of this space heater and generator. but we are fine with that.
Thank you for all your kind thoughts and prayers. With friends like you all I know I can get through any thing.
Big Hugs
