The last few weeks have been tense. Not only have I gone back to school for the first time since 1990, have two classes in a five week period of time that usually take up a ten week period of time, and have lots of homework and studying, I got a report from my last mammogram that they saw an abnormality that I needed to have checked out. I wasn't so surprised at the report, because I could see the spot in the digital image as I had the scan done. But having a report tell you something is not right will put you in panic mode if you aren't careful. I went there briefly, believe me. After a visit to a specialist, it was determined that I should have a cyst drained. Then another mammogram would be taken to see if the calcification was still there, or if it was in the cystal fluids. Well, my surgeon took a biopsy sample just in case, (by the way, we're already here, so why not?). The second mammogram showed no calcifcations and I was sent on my way to WAIT for the biopsy results. Today I was told everything is fine. Huge relief.
