Yeah, it's ever so lovely when your automated test results come back immediately with a big fat "ABNORMAL" label before anyone calls to tell you what's going on, and then you have to wait for days or weeks for the second test. Ask me how I know.

(The second scan was fine, and if I interpreted the doctorese correctly on that report, what the problem amounted to the first time was "boob was squished funny.")

Gotta get the right squish. 🤣

Exactly. Only precision, fine-tuned squishing will do.

That would freak me out! I got a phone call & they used ambiguous terminology - I was still freaked out. But I think I’m less sensitive now. My mom recently passed away from a surprise brain cancer diagnosis - after a 7 week rollercoaster in hospital, I think I’d be less paranoid now by findings.

Oh, I’m sorry about your mom — what a doozy of a thing to hit so suddenly!

Thanks. It really was. Cancer was not on the radar bc her family didn’t have any history. It’s a long story (she had Parkinson’s disease, still lived independently and didn’t suffer from headaches) but the experience has helped me better understand when I should step back and assess vs. panicking.
