I really need a fu@%ing BREAK!
Got a letter shortly after my mammogram appointment at the beginning of the month from the breast center. The letter stated that they saw something in my current study that they wanted to compare to my previous films, from back in Illinois.
Fine. Whatever. I called and told them that my name has changed since the last study, and then I didn't hear anything else for a couple of weeks.
Friday, my doctor's office called to tell me they were going to schedule my previously discussed breast MRI, which my doctor recommended merely because I have never had one, and it is a good thing to do once in a while, with a family history like mine.
So I just figured that was that. The films must have come, and everything must have been okay.
But then, the breast center called today.
They were unable to obtain my previous studies, gods only know why, and the issue at hand is worrisome enough that they now want me to go back for more compression views of my left breast.
I really, really need this stress to stop.
Trying not to get too upset, but, just like Dave having to wait a full week for his last angio, I have to wait a full week for this....and I will need all of the prayers I can get to help me through it.
(p.s. the last time this happened, several years ago, I had to withstand ELEVEN compression views of my left breast in one session. The pressure was so much that it actually ruptured the tissue inside my breast and caused bleeding. Yeah...so you can maybe understand a little more about why I might be upset....)

Did you sign a release form from where you had your precious mammo? It's likely this is something that's always been there, but without the prior study, they need to follow up. Just a thought.
I went through the same thing after moving here. I should have signed out the films and brought them with me. The compression part is endearing, isn't it? I have to have that done now on the divot/scar.
But seriously, P. No reason to stress out now. I mean, you're going to have to have mammograms for the rest of your life. And at times they'll need to do further study. It goes with being female.
