I mostly lurk on these boards but I just got the phone call that most women dread "we've seen something unusual on your mammogram taken yesterday and we want to do an ultrasound"
I'm 43 and have a husband and an 8 year old son and I just returned to work after a few months off recovering from a total knee replacement and I'm just turning the corner with that.
My mom is my best friend but I don't want to share this news with her because she had a defibrillator put in a month ago due to a weakening heart, I simply don't want to burden her with the worry and stress especially if it turns out to be nothing. We have no history of breast cancer in our family and I've had mammograms since I was 35 with no irregularities.
But then I can't help but think "wonder if it turns out to be something?" My ultrasound is scheduled for next Thursday (4/19) in the late afternoon and hopefully will have the results Friday. My practitioner who I've seen for the past 10 years for all my annual exams and health issues tried to ease my mind saying this was just precautionary but she left messages on my home phone, cell phone and reached me at work. By the time I got home for lunch there was already a message from the hospital ready to schedule the ultrasound, just the urgency of it all has scared me though I'm glad everyone is being so quick to get this done.
If you've got a few extra jingles, prayers or good thoughts could you send them my way next Thursday? Much MUCH appreciated and thank you for listening.
