All my life i've been the good girl and just done what I've been told. For the most part. Usually when my husband tells me to do something I do the opposite ; ).
When I got the call from the doctors office last December about my mammogram results I was upset but "they" told me to come back in six months so I just accepted that that is what I should do. My doctor told me so. My husband honestly didn't seem upset or concerned, not like when his mother or sister had abnormal results. He did however come home with the name of a specialist from a co worker. But as I said I usually do the opposite of what he says.
Plus, I thought to my self, "what am I going to say to this office when I call them? My doctors office says it's nothing and to come back in six months but I don't trust them?" I just felt stupid. I let it go for three months and then I was convinced that I felt something growing inside, not that I felt a lump but I had these twinges of pain. Plus with all of my husband good luck I was convinced something horrible was going to happen to me.
I finally came up with something to say to the doctors office and called them.They got me in within two weeks and I got my films and they took a look at them and did a manual breast exam. The doctor felt that with a few more views with compression the lump they saw which was tiny would turn out to be tissue overlapping and she didn't feel anything in her breast exam. She said to still go for the follow up in three months and have the results sent to her also.
I feel relieved but will feel more so in May!
