Hi Chris! Thanks for sharing in my joy. I also had a mammogram today which was normal…not even a callback! Woohoo! Interestingly, my mammogram tech, who stated she’s been doing mammos for 22 years, said pain after lumpectomy and radiation is the norm and will probably last forever, which was the first time I’ve heard that. I then asked whether a mastectomy would have been different, and her response was any surgical procedure has its own issues, for which I was really grateful to hear as nobody has ever told me to expect ongoing pain. I can handle the physical pain, but it’s the emotional pain that it causes you to think the worst that is tough to take. Of course, I wouldn’t take any pain without getting checked, but it does give me some comfort to know I’m having a normal reaction and don’t have to fear a recurrence immediately. It will be a Happy Thanksgiving for me and my best wishes to you and all MayoConnect members for the same. ❤️
