Mammography after breast lift

I had my first mammogram since my breast lift on Wednesday.

 

Got a call on Thursday that they want additional pictures and an ultrasound of my right breast for a better view.

I am trying to not freak out ..... Maybe they are just seeing some scar tissue from the breast lift .... Any experience with abnormal mammograms following breast surgery???

Haven't had one yet, but I did get a call one time to come back in for more photos. Of course I went into a panic. Shouldn't have, it was just they needed done less blurry photos. Try not to worry as most likely there is not a problem. Please do share what you learn. Best for good news!

I had my last one a couple of weeks before my lift 2 yrs ago, I'm due to go in this week.   Generally, if they need more pics, it was just blurry or they couldn't see where they wanted.  Let us know what you find out.

Thanks everyone --- my next appointment is not until January 9th.

I would be less worried if they just wanted to get another picture or 2, but they want to do an ultra-sound also ----

I was recently diagnosed with 'scary-low anemia' -- my PCP's words ---- so have been feeling really tired and worn out.

I keep worrying that the exhaustion is because I have cancer ---- but, it does no good to worry until I know that there is something to worry about.

I have lots of new knitting projects planned for the New Year - and am going to busy myself with work, family and hobbies --- and it will be whatever it is ----

 

Good luck to those of you who have mammo's coming up!!!    It was much easier to have these little perky boobs squished than the old floppy ones!!!
