Repeat Mammo and ultrasound today

Options

Hey all it's been a looooooong time! I was first diagnosed 9 years ago! I was triple neg and stage 2.  chemo and rads.  The last two mammos I've had I got called back for the unaffected side, so when I just had one last week I figured it would happen again. I did get called but - but this time for the affected side.  They found "something" - sized it and everything. That part hasn't happened before.  The other two times it was just a darkening or something. This time it was sized. So today I have another mammo and an ultrasound.  Am I worried? Of course but not out of control worry.  Just trying to go with my logical mind and ignore the scared side :)

 Sigh - nine years.  Shouldn't I be done now??????

    What were your results? I'm in a similar situation but I just finished chemo in April and radiation in July. I'm still having herceptin infusions until April 2013. I begin tamoxifen in a few weeks. I had a follow-up mammogram yesterday which included six pictures, the five more, then a sonogram, with the recommendation of a biopsy of one possibly two areas. The nurses that a spoke with say it could be changes due to radiation. I hope so. With all I've been through, it can't be cancer again so soon, can it?
