I had my repeat mammogram today and I also had an ultrasound because the mammo didn't give them a good enough view. I got to speak with a very kind Radiologist and he gave me the results on the spot. I am fine. Like other women in my family I have dense breast tissue. Mine is one large patch in the right breast. They will watch it for changes.
The only downside is this was to be my baseline and then I wouldn't have to have another mammogram until I was 40. After this discovery I now start yearly mammograms. I figure that is a small price to pay considering what could have been.
So now I am telling everyone....Get a mammogram. If you are my age in your mid 30's get your baseline done. If you are in your 40's it is time for a yearly mammogram. And you young gals get informed. Learn how to do a proper self breast exam. If you expect anything out of the ordinary call your doctor ASAP.
I will get down off my soap box now but there are a few of you that I will be hounding on a regular basis. You know who you are!
Brookelyn informed a me a couple weeks ago that she wants a baby sister. HA! Dream on little one, that ain't gonna happen. Tonight she got to hold a baby and now that is all she is talking about. Dawn brought her neice, London, over for a short visit. Boo just loved her. I told her next time Dawn is babysitting we will just go for a visit 'cause this momma ain't birthin' no more babies.
I'm off to relax a bit with my book. Night all!
