We are with you!

I am hoping this is the case for you.

They tell you that your mammogram came back abnormal.
So they send you for other tests and you have sleepless nights over it.

Then the radiologist comes out and says all the second tests look good.
It was just some sort of shadow on the original.

It happened quite a bit when mammograms switched over to digital.
I am not sure the incident rate now.

Also keep in mind anything they catch early is usually a very good prognosis.
So you are doing the right thing to get regular mammograms.

I hope all the women reading your OP make sure they get their mammogram.

S8nce then I've had no call backs. I guess it can go both ways.

Things must have looked larger than normal and women were getting call backs.

About a third of our call-back mammos are for additional views and/or additional studies, usually ultrasounds, Most of those call backs turn out to be something benign. Try not to worry too much, although I know it's difficult.

before, I don't look forward to it.

My lymph nodes always show up weird in them as well, thanks to being very heavily tattooed on my arms, back and chest.
Good luck to you!

Scared the daylights out of me. I have dense beasts and that may have caused it. After further testing they found no problem.

Get those mammograms ladies!

hope I am like you and they find no problem.

I’ll throw all I’ve got your way for a healthy outcome! Love to you!

If so. It can cause swollen lymph nodes, especially on the side where you got the shot.

Thinking of you with best wishes for good news.

Thank you DaBronx.

Keep up your strength and positive energy.

My sister just had an “abnormal “ mammogram and had to have another different kind. It turned out normal.

I am a breast cancer survivor so I understand how it feels. Just keep busy, keep your mind on something else today. Get out for a few hours and go somewhere if you can. Best to you, love, Diamond. Hope everything turns out OK.

Deb.

Nowadays the treatments are so much better, even better than when I went through it. And it’s been 19 years for me after they found stage 3 and I’m still here. 🙂.

here. Love, Deb,

You're better off sharing with your friends, and reflecting in your own considerable wisdom.

Like others above, I have been called back after an abnormal mammogram, and everything was normal in the subsequent tests. But the stress in the meantime is the worst.

Sending all sorts of positive thoughts your way.

Take a big breath, the next step will give you more information. In the meantime, we all wish you the best.

I had bc with lymph node involvement 14 years ago.

I've had a mammogram and a pelvic CT scan that showed possible lymph node issues. They watched me closely (every 3mo for a year) to see if the nodes continued to enlarge. When they didn't, they labeled them as 'reactive lymph nodes' and said the breast pain (which had gone away over time) was due to pressure on a nerve. Now when I have a mammogram, they always do the 'enhanced' imaging version.

❤️

Sending DU vibes to you for good test results.

My sister in law did prove to have cancer, and is now a ten year survivor after a lumpectomy.

There are huge advances in treating breast cancer.

Good luck.

is there but remember you are strong and I am feeling all the positive energy I can give to you. 🫶🏼👍

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

You must be distressed as can be. Hopefully, whatever was abnormal in your mammogram will be something that is manageable. We DUers adore you and are rooting for you to get this behind you ASAP.
Hugs!

I had a lumpectomy in 2022, Stage 0. I get checked every other year now and I'm 66.

I was willing to have everything removed if needed. I hope you don't have to face that and I'll be keeping you in my thoughts. I think the worst part was the MRI laying on the table face down. Ugh I hated that one.

So they’ll check for hormone changes, fibroids, and stress, too. Our bodies change all the time so be positive because that’s also a factor. We’re here for you thru thick n thin 🌺

am tired but I come here every day to read, laugh and be with my DU family.

Will be keeping you in my thoughts and sending positive energy.

Sending you hugs and good vibes.

The news is unsettling, but please try to not worry prematurely, however difficult that will be..

And that was many years ago. There's been a lot of advances since then.

So, first let's hope it's not cancer.

But even if it is, you'll beat it. The whole Lounge will be behind you!

I truly understand how scary this moment is for you. Please take care of yourself as you pass through this moment.

Lean on us!

You matter!

tests will pinpoint a ton of information. You know how much you mean to us and collectively we are winging our caring thoughts and energy to you. Hope you can get some peaceful rest. Please keep us posted. We care so much. Love and hugs dear heart 🧡🧡🧡

Hoping for the best outcome.

You have the support and good wishes from everyone here. For what it's worth, my lymph nodes from my ears and down my neck have been swollen for years, yes years. So far, so good.

Please keep us posted.

Hopefully, this is something benign that can be remedied.

Hope it's the best of possible outcomes.

And I do pray.

to the body mind and spirit. Take each day as they come, yet ask lots of questions.

back for another look. Dense breasts, fibrous and lipomas! Positive vibes coming your way for a good outcome. Detection and treatment (if needed) is so much better now .

tests come back negative for anything. We need you. God bless you, deb.

I had a mammogram that was wonky a few years ago. Had to have another and it came out fine so bad readings do happen. Keeping you in my thoughts

Sending love ❤️
Stay strong.

First of all, you will be in my prayers. That is my practice.

Second, I've been through the callback process, etc., and it is nerve wracking. So don't beat yourself up for being scared. It's normal to be concerned. My own situation turned out to be a stable mass that was monitored for a period of time and determined to be unremarkable.

You already know that you were doing the sensible and RIGHT thing for yourself by going for the mammogram in the first place. So give yourself some grace for doing that. If there is something (and I pray there is not!), then you will have caught it early.

I will remember to pray for you early tomorrow morning.

May you heal from this.

All the best Deb!

You well and hoping your tests show only good results.

I pray that the positive good vibes that you radiate through the universe will come back to you.

Remember that about 90% of what we worry about never comes true.

But each day of your journey,
Please know that you touch us every day, that you are one of the people that make up the soul of DU.
Your presence here is so calming, engaging, and love filled, that that and love filled, that we are with you and have been all along.
From Rich's cancer a year and a half ago to potatoes or stuffing, ham or turkey, you're so treasured and loved that I hope you feel light as a feather when we carry you all through the day tomorrow.
I love you Debbie, and I know you know that I am one of many.
Please let that love give you peace and comfort tomorrow, along with a feeling of safety.
Love, John

Sending you my best wishes for a good outcome! I’m on the west coast, so they may take a while to get there.

Many good thoughts and love.

As someone else said, sometimes there is a false positive, or something that looks odd but turns out to be nothing. Hoping that is the case for you, Deb.

You are in my thoughts.

And to your good health.
