Sorry if I sound daft but I had a mammogram last week . I had quite a bit of surgury on left boob anyway it’s a year since radiotherapy ended. I’m still on treatment but I wanted to ask if anyone had a mammogram where … sounds comical but what looked like a white fat sausage on mammogram. The radiology tech was quite upset about it or flustered . Me I was just thinking radiotherapy effects ? Anyway she got docs to look at it and that was it she came back and said that’s sorted. Ok room full of ladies so I guess she wouldn’t say everything so I rang clinic later and they seemed not worried so why am I not exactly believing them. Ibe next infusion of tdm1 nov 3 and a review so now I don’t know why I’m nervous lol. Surely scar tissue can appear white too … from what I’ve read I can’t find a mammogram like mine ie the white fat sausage appearance . It’s ok to giggle at that description as it only one that fits . Paranoia maybe 

  • I imagine it could be anything and nothing - I did this a few years back ..... I looked at my mammogram on the screen as I was coming out and I could see various 'white' areas - so mind was all over the place.  

    My biggest worry at the moment is I am behind for my check up (I intend to go in the next two/three weeks - when they can get me in) at my last mammogram I was told by the radiographer that she could see 'white specs' - she went off and spoke with my consultant, then came back in and said there was nothing to be concerned with - it is granulation of scare tissue (?) - I have never felt settled with this - however, we do have to listen to them.  Now whilst waiting for appointment I am having various dull pains in this boob - so my mind is on overdrive and praying it is just my body doing this because it knows I am worried - arrrrghhhh

    I would say ask at your next appointment, even say they suggested that you mention it and would they pull mammogram up and get someone to look at it - add that it is causing you extra stress.

    I hope all turns out to be nothing ..... that it's just a random sausage hiding in the machinery HotdogHotdog

    I'm hoping this makes sense - only my mind says one thing and my fingers type whatever they like x
  • Thanks it prob is that it was just radio techs reaction that puzzled me hope it gets resolved soon for you … plays with our minds sigh 

  • Hello Lovejellies.  You are so cute with the description and I don’t have anything to tell you about it other than could be some scar tissue from radiation.  I am perplexed.  Glad you are going for review and that should ease your mind.  So many crazy things happen to our bodies after all the abuse we get to go through.  I did giggle a little and I am vegan so all I could think of was a tofu dog!!  You can laugh at that one too.  Take care and we need to laugh about things sometimes.  
    Bye
