I'm an 8-1/2 yr survivor of ovarian cancer (cancer-free). Last week I went for a mammogram and this morning, while I was out, I received a call from the radiologist's office, which said that she sent my slides to my doctor's office. When I called the radiologist's office back, my call went on her answering machine. It's now Friday, almost 6PM (Calif), and haven't rec'd a call back. I guess I'll hear from her on Monday. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas what "bad" news I can expect. I have the whole weekend to "wonder".

From my experience, the radiologists forward the info to your general practitioner. They, in turn, will relay the results to you. So it could just be routine. Usually I receive a letter from the radiologists office in due course telling me that the results are clear. As a BC survivor, I can certainly understand that you are anxious. Fingers crossed that everything is good.

Don't you just hate having that happen on a Friday afternoon? They could have waited until Monday to call you. Two days would not make a difference.

I've never had a radiologists office call me. If the mammogram is fine, why would they call?

please hang in . I really am praying . I think it should be a law that if you cannot be seen or given info upon receipt of a medical call that they cannot call on a Friday.
You are going to return a great report to us. I just know it.

I'm irritated on your behalf. I really dislike when doctor's offices do this with test results of any kind.
I'm keeping good thoughts for you.

The group that I go to for Mammogram has sent letters out to me both times on a Friday so I receive the news on Saturday. I told them about it and they said letters are sent out two days after the mammogram is done ( Wednesday) and that's why it's sent out on a Friday... They don't care that patients have anxiety over the weekend with the unknown. I always hope for the best for all...
