Will be 50 next year.
Had my first mammogram.
Letter said I needed more tests.
Breastfed & chiropractor said sometimes clogging shows up.
If the problem is in the right side I may have moved during the filming.
Wasn't a digital. Should I look for a digital machine or not ?
Anyone else have to have follow up ?
Will it be another mammogram or is there some other test that is performed.
Will call doctor tomorrow.

Second appointment wasn't until July 8 then they called & had a cancellation for tomorrow. It is a diagnostic one & they only do them in the mornings. So I head in tomorrow. I'll be there from 8:45 till 10. It is in the right breast so maybe the movement caused a shadow.

Also had a bone scane & I have osteopenia. Which is pre osteoperosis. Went from -1 to -2.6 in around 3 years.
Didn't take calcium like they suggested the first time. Now I take 2 horse pills per day 1 in am & 1 in pm.
Anyone have any other tips ?
Suppose to walk or do weight bearing exercises.
Apparently, typing doesn't count.

The lady tech took 4 pics with smaller squishers. It was more uncomfortable because of that & probably cause of my monthly. Which started last night on day 36. I think I ovulated 3 times.
Had to walk down the hall to sono & she took pics & measured. There are 3 or 4 cysts with liquid at the top of the right breast. Most are in center or towards sternum. She asked if I used hormones. Told her I used progesterone cream.
The radiologist from Wichita said they appear benign & I should come back in a year unless they bother me. Since she is from the big city she probably sees more mam films than our town radiologist. She didn't elaborate on the hormone usage.
The largest cyst was 1 cm. Not even able to feel them.
Lady from church said liquid good. No liquid bad.
Off to enjoy New Orleans if the humidity will let me. Will try to remember to take calcium.
Ds4, 11, was worried I had cancer.
Have to take ds2 to dr. for sore throat.

I'm the one who started the other thread. I have 3 children and am planning on telling my youngest child today, after his last day of school. I told my middle child yesterday, after his last exam, and I told my oldest child the same day the doctor called. How did you tell your children about it? How much information did you share with them?

Your first mammogram is a lot about establishing a baseline from which to compare future mammograms.
Anything....anything out of the ordinary or whatever is flagged for follow-up to be sure there is accuracy for future reference.

Dh informed them. Just the basics. The machine would take pictures.
I did tell them the spots were cysts with liquid & they were benign & I would have the test done yearly.

What are you telling them exactly?
I wouldn't be telling them anything until I had a definitive diagnosis. Why worry them?
Didn't have a choice after dh had impromptu family meeting about it.
I found it interesting that the youngest verbalized his angst.
