RAY A Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 First I want to thank all my brothers and sisters for coming to our rescue. My wife called the nurse and also had the report sent to her. The nurse told her that she has dense breasts and they need to get another mammogram. She also said there was no signs of cancer. But when my wife got the report, she said it said something about a possible node but also said there was no signs of cancer. She has to go back Nov 18. I guess if they thought it could be something serious they would have her come in sooner. When I get home I will read the report for myself. Again I would like to thank everyone for your support.

Snowflake Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Relax, Ray... A node could be anything from a cyst (often caused by caffeine) to a plugged/infected milk duct. If they are firm in the "no cancer", follow Don Wood's advice and don't borrow trouble. Glad the news was mild, sorry the poor woman has to vise the pair again in another slam-o-gram..

K and Kids Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Glad that the nurse and the report explain a little more about what is going on. Deep breaths. Continued prayers for you both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy B Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Glad to hear things don't sound serious. Maybe your wife might want to consider an ultrasound instead of another mammogram - I think they are more definitive. Just a thought. Take care, Nancy B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chloesmom Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Ray, That dense tissue thing is very common and the report sounds positive. I'm happy for you and your family this this looks like something that's turning out to be nothing......we like that! Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alisa Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Wow, what a relief. I also have dense breasts, so whenever I go for a mammogram, they automatically followup with a sonogram. Your wife may want to request that to be on the safe side. Take care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nushka Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Ray, It doesn't sound all that horrible to me. If I were you I would wait and let them do an ultrasound. It is uncommon I think, for them to say "no signs of cancer" unless they are sure. Let us know. Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Hey Ray. Just caught up on your first post. Sorry to hear you have more worries to deal with. I hope everything turns out well -- I'm sure it will. Take care. David P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Ray, I did not catch the first post, but just FYI, my mom got called back ma ny times for a follow up mamogram and it was all just fine. She also has a nodule that they did not think was cancer and it has been stable for quite a few years, they are just watching it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyn Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 Ray, So sorry I just saw your posts - I get called back EVERY time I have a mammogram - same thing - dense breasts and they always want to do an ultrasound just to "be safe". The mere fact that they are not calling her in for an immediate follow up and are waiting until mid-november sounds good to me. I will continue to pray that everything turns out okay, but try to put your mind to ease. Love, Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
