Good News!

I had a mammogram in early August. I was notified that I needed a second mammogram. A cyst had been detected on the left side. I went in for the 2nd mammogram just before school started. Once again I was notified that I needed to come in for an ultrasound of the left side. I was able to go on my lunch period. During this time Marc gave me a blessing that all would turn out well. I finally got a phone call from the doctor’s office with the good news. I have a benign cyst. I am clear for another year, but I will have to have a mammogram yearly from now on.

This was at times a painful, and certainly an uncomfortable procedure, but I am glad to be done with it and have a clean bill of health as far as this is concerned. I put this off for as long as I could. The doctor’s office told me that my insurance might drop me if I didn’t have the mammogram because early detection is very important.

I'm sorry you had to have a painful exam, but I'm glad you're ok.
