An Unsettling Phone Call

Earlier this week I had a mammogram; I was right on schedule. I got home and told Kerry that I would be getting one of those postcards in the mail saying everything was just fine.

Well, I didn't. Instead I just got a phone call from the radiology department at Kaiser; they want to do another mammogram on my left breast. My stomach dropped to my toes. My heart is thumping away in my chest right now. I have very fibrous breasts which always makes it difficult to get an accurate picture of what's going on in there. I had this happen once before when I was in my early 40s; it turned out to be nothing. I hope that's the case this time. I have an appointment on Monday at 9 a.m.

Between now and then I'm going to be more than a bit nervous. So I'm the one calling for energy, prayers or whatever you believe in. I'll let you know what happens on Monday. I guess the universe got Dykewife and her family a place to live and Rhonda's mother is doing just fine so now it's someone else's turn.

Peace to your soul.

I've flunked the mammo test several times but ultimately nothing has come of it. I have fibrous tissue too. Plus, one doctor said that menopause causes misreadings. (I didn't ask if it was a permanent change since at the time it felt like the hot flashes were permanent.)

Nonetheless, I'll be sending good vibes your way.
