Re: Waiting and worrying (mammogram)

Hope you receive good results!!

I know it's hard not to worry. Is it possible to call the doctors office before your appt. next week to get your test results?

Re: Waiting and worrying (mammogram)

Holding positive thoughts and prayers for a good outcome. It doesn't do us any good to say it, buy try to focus on other things and not worry. Charming2 had a good suggestion. The docs get the results pretty quickly, here it is sometimes withing 24 hours. I doubt they'd answer anything on the phone, but you could try to call them if it might ease your mind a little.

I think they would have wanted more pics or other testing if they didn't like what they were seeing, like Shelbelle said.

I hope you get an answer soon, waiting is very very difficult

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

Re: Waiting and worrying (mammogram)

Shorty, just for the future, could you have your mammogram done at a Breast Imaging Center that has a radiologist on staff who looks at the films immediately and before you leave they tell you the results? There are many of these centers where I live and they really take the worry out of days of waiting for the doctor to call with the results.

I wish you well and am sending good thoughts for you.

Re: Waiting and worrying (mammogram)

Sending thoughts and prayers to you. I know this is upsetting because I think usually the radiologist comes out and says everything is ok or they didn't see anything. If you have had cancer I know from experience they want to biopsy everything even if they are 99% sure it is nothing. I would almost call his office and ask him.
