First mammogram results have me nervous- should I be?

Thanks Laurie. I’m so scared after what my sis went through- we both tested + for same BRCA mutation, which increased my ovarian cancer odds to 1 in 3…thus getting my tubes and ovaries removed. I haven’t told my husband or my mom; I’m waiting until I have definite results. I don’t want to scare them for nothing…it’s been a rough go!!

Sorry to hear your concerns and fears. This is how it is when we are faced with a questionable MAMMO… try to take a breath and wait for actual information.
Additionally, I would definitely be requesting an MRI. A mammo never picked up 2 sizeable tumors ( in one breast) although I had a symptom. I persisted until an MRI was done.
Best to you 🌸 hope you get some good news.
@ednolb22, how are you doing? Did you discuss the results of your mammogram with your doctor yet? Will you have further testing?

@ednolb22 The waiting game is so hard! I'm glad you had ovaries and tubes out. Wise choice. So sorry to hear about your sister. I lost my brothers to cancer. So hard to lose siblings.
The hopeful news I see is that they ordered an ultrasound next rather than a biopsy so they must still be hopeful it's something benign. Praying that you have good results. Please keep us posted.
