I will keep you in my prayers. I always have to go back, do the ultrasound and usually a needle biospy. Always has been ok, but one never knows. Go back on schedule to stay safe.

Praying that everything is normal...
Understand about the scare... had 3 lumps found a year after starting on hormone therapy for menopause .... needless to say, I told the dr. I'd deal with the menopause WITHOUT the pills...
fortunately, the lumps went away on their own...

I've been flunking mamo and sonograms for over 15 years. Had both done today.

If you don't have to go back for 6 months it doesn't sound like anything urgent. But keep your appointments honey! I understand being scared though.

I wouldn't worry so much if you don't have to go back for six months. Been there, done that. It's when they ask for more films when you're getting the mammogram that I worry. That's usually the sign that a biopsy is needed. We're here for you. {{{hugs}}}

Yep...know the feeling. Don't put off going for your next appointment and try and stay positive (sometimes easier said than done). Best to pick up things as early as possible and remember it's not always as bleak as you think.

I always dread the phone call. I have a bad family history. Been called a couple of times. I even had to have a biospy once. Please be sure you go back when they told you to. I'll be thinking about you. You are in my prayers.
