Just received a letter asking me to go back for another mammogram tomorrow, after a routine mammogram. At least I haven't time to worry. I just hope it has something to do with the machine as it went on strike while xraying my left boob. Trouble is I had arranged to see my parents. They will be worried sick if I tell them why I can't come. My sister died of breast cancer. I need to think of something better than I'm not feeling well. There's no need to worry them unless there's no choice.

You have a heavy cold and cough  . 

[Ju Ju]

Just got over a virus, so haven't seen them for a while. I could a bug though!

[CLKD]

Or put the mammogram off for a week?

[Ju Ju]

And have a week of worrying? No thanks!  Thats the one blessing, letter today. Appointment tomorrow. I'd rather know what to worry about, if anything at all.

[CLKD]

Car problems?  Babysitting neighbour's guinea pig ……….

Let us know how you get on, is it a.m. or p.m. appt.?

[dahliagirl]

Taking a worried friend to the clinic, who has no family nearby?

[Ju Ju]

It's pm.

Mmm! Babysitting a guinea pig? Now Mum might have her daft moments, but........ Car problems, well that's believable, as I have just spent a lot on my car in the last year! Thank you for giving me a laugh, CLKD.

I'll let you know what happens. I've had a couple of scares in the past.

[CLKD]

Of course, your Mum would suggest taking the guinea pig with you 

[Ju Ju]

Thank you CLKD! A laugh is what I need!

That's what I'm hoping,Praja. The machine had a blip while doing the 2nd xray on my left boob and the radiologist had to come and release me. She did redo it, once it reset itself, but I'm hoping that all it is. At least they are giving me hardly any notice, so I haven't time to get my knickers in a twist.

Its almost certainly due to a bad image as anything else you would have got a letter to go to the breast clinic and not for another mammo. 
Did your parents know you were having your first mammo as if not you could say you have routine mammo appt.

[Ju Ju]

Actually it is to the breast clinic at the hospital. On Thursday I have an appointment for physio, Friday, pre op appointment. 3 days back and forth. DH says if I'm good he will take me out for dinner in the evening. 

[countrybumpkin]

Oh sorry I was thinking it was just a repeat mammo appt.

Hope all is okay for you and make sure you get your meal out

[CLKD]

Pizza and chips then  with 3 colour ice cream for afters …….

Just spoken to my parents. I decided to keep near to the truth. I wasn't sure they would believe me if I said I was babysitting guinea pigs! I had told them there was a problem with the mammogram machine, so told them I had been recalled because of that. Hopefully I'm telling the truth. They didn't seem at all worried, just disappointed.
