Not diagnosed yet, worried about Inflammatory Breast Cancer

My general practitioner ordered the mammogram after I told her my symptoms. I went to the appointment and they told she ordered a regular mammogram and I needed a diagnostic mammogram with ultrasound. I contacted my doctors office and they sent the new order. Now I have to wait till the 30th.

Can you share your results ?

Sadly this exact thing happened to me when I went for mine in 2004. The only question on the paper was do you have a lump now? When I circled yes, they said get dressed we can’t do this today. WHAT?
Thankfully my surgeon carried a little clout in this tiny town at that time and called and got me in a few days later.
I learned that of course these decisions have nothing to do with care, they come from the billing department.
The fee for a diagnostic mammogram is significantly higher so they have to make sure they get it coded correctly from the gate.
I am sorry you have to wait, did you ask to get on the cancellation list?
