Phew!!!! I dodged that bullet.....

I've been really stressed out the last two months. In mid-September at my well-woman visit, a lump was discovered in my left breast. I was scheduled for a diagnostic mammogram on October 24th. (Why they can't get you in sooner when you are freaking out I'll never know!) Well, I kept my date with the boob smasher (they put your lung in there for good measure!).

The mammogram did show an irregularity and I was scheduled for an ultrasound on November 7th. All of this is done with great dignity, must tell you, like they've had breasts coming down a conveyer belt in a factory. You know, you've seen one, you've seen them all.

Today I finally got great news! I am alright! Two months of wondering and waiting and worrying. Now I can go back to just worrying about getting my former home sold.

I am glad to hear that everything is ok. The tests do not sound like any fun. I know how stressful it can be waiting for test results.

Thank goodness! I am so glad that you were on top of it.
You are a good example to all women to get regular check-ups.
Have a super Thanksgiving (you already have something to be thankful for).

Good news! I am glad you are all right. I agree though, what is the deal with the wait to get things found out, how aggrivating!

I'm so glad everything is ok. I agree, waiting is horrible. Right now we're waiting on results for my baby sister (she's 26 now though). It's a scary thing.
