Today I had a recall for further mammography views. Not my favorite way to spend the day. Actually, it was enough to make me worry since the word came that I had to go back in for another turn.
The last time I had this happen--it was at this very hospital then too--I ended with multiple MRIs and even a biopsy that ended in a benign spot that was nothing to worry about. Easy for them to say.
Today when I checked in I asked specifically if they would please give me preliminary results before I left to avert any panic that was creeping up in me again. She assured me that I wouldn't leave this time without a better idea of what is going on.
Today, the extra pictures of my boob showed that the spot in question last time was just a spot of very dense tissue--"gristle" I like to think--but after smashing it even flatter with a smaller paddle (thus squishing the are more severely, but more accurately as well) it was determined that it was just an area that looked suspicious but isn't really anything more than my gristly boob.
Nice.
At least that is a relief and I can move on with my week, and other worries.
