Last month I started a discussion about an abnormality that showed up on my most recent mammogram. I was told that it was probably benign and they suggested I come back for more pictures in 6 months to see if there were any changes. I wasn't real happy with that decision so I went to the Breast Center here in town. They specialize in this, it's what they're here for. My appointment was on Wednesday and after looking at my previous films and a few other things considered, they suggested I have a biopsy. Since they had an openning that day, I did it all in the same day. I recieved my results yesterday and everything is benign. I sorta feel like a fool for doing all this now and finding it was nothing, but I'm very glad that I do know now and don't have to worry about it for another 5 months. One thing that had a big impact on this whole ordeal was the fact that the mammograms are now digital, they get a much better, clearer picture. The calcifications I have could very well have been there for YEARS, but with the poor technology before, they just didn't show up. They are making great strides in early detection now and it is wonderful what they are able to do. Most of this is made possible by the donations that the research foundations recieve every year. Take it seriously folks, the pennies you give today may save you tomorrow. If you'd like to make a donation, you can visit my profile for a link to the 3-Day Walk site.
