(35 Posts)

Hi everyone - just a quick update for all you lovely people who helped during the panic times (DD's not mine!!).

She had a cyst which was drained there and then. So one very happy DD and her DH are out having a lovely lunch! Being DD1 though, she did faint during the mammogram as the nurse was explaining how the rest of the appointment would go. I really had to restrain myself while I was on the phone to her imagining her swooning but unable to go to the ground as she was suspended by one boob. grin

Again, thank you GN!!!

Thats great news kittylester a well deserved lunch for DD and her DH after a lot of worry.

I can understand her fainting during the mammogram though. I had one on Monday and it bloomin' well hurt.

As a matter of interest (personal question) does your DD have small boobs?

Thank you all! I love GN. flowers

Yes quite small gilly. I have quite large ones and have thought during a mammogram that I could quite happily kill someone if they don't flipping well hurry up and let go!! grin

I've been going through the same vicarious experience with my older sister, so I understand your heartfelt relief. So pleased for you kitty. smile

Mine are small too and it doesn't half hurt. Also my ribs are still hurting after being pressed against the machine. I had to be almost dragged there kicking and screaming last time as it hurt so much. I can feel a panic attack coming on as soon as the grippers grip and have to avoid the urge to rip myself out of the thing.

Had to laugh on Monday when the Mammographer said there would be a better method widely available if men had to have their willies crushed on a regular basis !

Good news indeed! sunshine

My sister lives in America and recently she had a call back for a second mammogram, then she was called back for an ultrasound scan; now her radiologist wants her to have an MRI and has recommended a biopsy of some microcalcifications. Her doctor has told her that she doesn't need am MRI or biopsy and to return for another mammogram in six months. She's been beside herself with worry, but is trusting the doctor. She finds it scary that the professionals disagree, but in litigation-aware America she thinks the doctor would hedge his bets and encourage her to have the additional procedures if he wasn't absolutely certain that she's okay to wait.

What good news kitty. I am so pleased everything turned out fine. I went through exactly the same thing in the summer, and know how worried she must have been. I didn't faint though.smile

Good news, kitty smile

What a relief for you and your daughter, kitty.
I had a call back after a routine mammogram last year, all clear.
My friend has an appointment for the one-stop breast clinic at our local hospital on Friday, as she discovered a thickening in her breast last week.
I am taking her out to lunch tomorrow, to try and keep her spirits up.
