So much for good vibes. Scan day sucked . They've called me back.
This may come out not making sense as I am somewhere in between being scared shitless and f*/#&%g furious.
So after the mammogram and u/sound the doctor popped her head in (obviously they could see I was starting to freak out) and said there was no changes to last years scans. Gave me a smile and said goodbye. Phew.
I was feeling quite positive after that until the receptionist rang and said I needed to come back for another targeted ultra sound as the MRI had picked up something. The other two hadn't, yet again!
Oh and the doctor wanted me to go tomorrow and follow her to their other facility as she is only in Ipswich on Thursdays and wanted to talk to me.
So my head is in a mess and the tears are starting, my heart is pounding and I've got the shakes.
I don't know if I can do all that again. I know I am over thinking and not to freak out totally before I know for sure. But FAAARRRKKK this shit,

- Patti_JMember@Zoffiel, @arpie. Unfortunately, I don't think it has anything to do with being good with people or the time of the year.
It has more to do with the fact that when any sort of male doctor does any sort of physical examination on half naked women, they need to have another woman in the room with them.
His comments to me about my implants were also inappropriate. He was almost complaining because they made it difficult to examine me. What? Does he think I have them as some sort of vanity thing? - arpieMemberAlso I think they are already in Xmas mode, unfortunately, @"Patti J" .... only 'half on the job'! :( Sadly, it lasts til about half way thru Jan :(
- ZoffielMemberSome of them are not good with people @"Patti J Maybe they should stick to murdering mice in the name of science--dont get me wrong, I know the mouse model folk are responsible for most of the medicine that keeps us alive. I'm just not sure I want any of them touching me with their cold clinical hands.
- Patti_JMemberNot a scan as such but I feel very yucky.
Saw a male cardiologist yesterday.. He examined me and I came away feeling not very happy about the way he did this examination.
Then his receptionists weren't as efficient as they should have been. I was very upset. It takes a lot to upset me now but the more I think about it. Yick! - arpieMemberBloody Hell!! You SHOULD be positively glowing by now @kezmusc !!
If you can, Grab a Rum & Coke & sit back & suck on that (they have frozen ones now that are lovely!)
Take care, buddy xxx - Kiwi_AngelMember@kezmusc naughty.
- kezmuscMemberThank you ladies.
@Arpie. Last MRI was three months ago. I have a referral for another freakin mammogram and targetted u/s in three months.
@"Kiwi Angel" . Apparently we are not allowed to use company names on here so I have been informed. Naughty.
Not much customer service really is it to wait that long for a complaint to be addressed. I still believe my original mammogram 7 years prior was it lurking there. "Nothing to worry about dear, just dense breast tissue" That was at a different radiology place though. BS said that the thing had been there for a long time to get that far spread, just lucky it was a lazy slow growing thing huh?
I have worked out over the two years I have had 9 mommograms, 7 u/sound (not including the two for the guided core biopsies), 4 breast MRI 2 brain MRI, 3 CT, 2 bone scans. Added to the 30 lots of rads I think that's just about enough to make me start glowing green. I am surprised that boob hasn't got up and left of it's own accord. :smile: - tigerbethMember@kezmusc sorry you still haven't got a definitive answer, that sucks !
Surely you'd think that one of you "expert docs" could shed some light on it for you ,to help ease your concern.
You have to wonder at times about their expertise & level of concern.
Hope it really is nothing
Hugs xx - Kiwi_AngelMemberI know nothing about PET scans either - will have to do some googling!
- SisterMemberThat's just not fair @kezmusc All of that waiting and still no result! I don't know how a PET scan is different but maybe worth finding out about it.
