This is very personal but need to talk about it because I'm worried, hubby is gone for work and I really don't have anyone to call. I know your all here for me and I thank you for that.
So my doctor has been telling me to have another one for awhile. I had a baseline one done at 35. Everything was ok.
Had my gyn checkup couple weeks ago dr saw some redness around the right nipple. Said that's a concern. Gave me a rx cream. Didn't seem to me it was working so gave me a different rx cream. again it seemed to irritate it more and dried it out but still red.
Anyway I had the mammogram and blood work done today, not just for the nipple but because it's been a long time. quick, easy, painless $150 bucks (discounted self pay no insurance) tech said my dr would get report and contact me in a week. About 4 hours later he called. This is not good!
He said they saw something calcification (sp?) between 11 and 12 on the right....I think....whatever blah blah blah and I need to have a more detailed mammogram done. Also heard could be nothing need to check it out or could be something and may need needle biopsy & second opinion & surgeon. Not good again!
I'm trying hard not to get ahead of myself with worry and think the worst. It's not working. I don't even know what's going on and I feel like this might be it for me. I'm old but not that old.
Can I now go out and eat all the potato chips and chocolate covered custard donuts I've been not eating cause they are bad for me. Oh I so want the chips. Then maybe some chocolate.
Just please keep some good thoughts for me.Test might be next week. They are suppose to call.
