Hi everyone.
I had my 5yr Mammogram scan yesterday, doing my usual worrying. You would think I would know the answer to my question, but I hate having them done as they stress me out.
After she took the 1st image, she shook her head! Me, alarm bells. Carried on took the 2nd.
When I was getting dressed I saw a scan on the monitor behind her, does anyone know if that is your scan image?
Thanks
Hi, waiting for scan results is such a scary time, even when you think it's probably ok. I recently had my 5 year mammogram and had to chase up the results so I can empathise.
From what I know, it's not just the current mammogram, it's the comparison to the previous one that is most important, so even if she was looking t your scan, they need to compare it.
I hope you get your results, and peace of mind, soon. Best wishes
