I'm back....again

AnxietyAnn58

Hello. Got the letter for more images and ultrasound. I was so hopeful that I would not get the phone call after a week had passed since my mammogram and here comes a letter. I was so disappointed and scared. Now the anxiety sets in. My appointments are on May 4. I had to go through this in 2019 also and i thank God all was ok. This site is has been my place for comfort since 2015 when I had a biopsy. All was good on that also. This taking test and waiting has given me PTSD when it comes to mammograms. It takes all the courage that I have to go and get one each year but I tell myself that this is one of the situations that ignorance is not bliss😢

Hi Anxietyann

I’m right there with you. I’ve had anxiety regarding breast related issues for years. I had my first biopsy a week ago Monday and I’m just trying to keep my mind occupied. It’s so stressful and overwhelming. You are not alone!

Thanks for responding. I could never stress my family by letting them know how I feel about the waiting and test and procedures. This is my place to go for that and I am so grateful for this site. I did get the nerve up to read my report. Birads 0. I took my last covid shot 13 days before mammogram. They think that is the cause of the enlarged lymph node on the right side. The same side I had the covid vaccine. Everything else was unchanged from my last mammogram. I have dense breast so my doctor wants to be sure they don't miss anything. I am just hanging in there the best I can. I had a biopsy in 2015 for calcifications..B9 results. All the best to you and a great report from your biopsy.

Sounds like they are doing due diligence Ann! Please let us know....

Queenie please let us know how your biopsy results turn out....

The waiting is soooo difficult! I had several callbacks and two stereotactic biopsies on my right breast only for it to be my left breast years later that actually had a real problem.... You just never know which adds to anxiety. These are stressful processes - validate your feelings about that and do what you can to then distract while waiting.... wishing you both the best!

It really seems like the vaccine is the likely cause, but ugh these things are so scary no matter what. Hang in there!

Thanks ladies. I will definitely post my results. I find that watching endless hours of YouTube videos works to keep my mind off the waiting and worrying. 😊

Hello again. I had my diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound today and I am so happy to say I was told all is well and they will see me in a year. The lymph nodes were related to my covid vaccine. I didn't hear too much that she said after she said all is well. I am just going to relax for a bit. This has been a long 2 weeks. All the best to you all.

Yay!!
