Rinaina - I am sending good thoughts your way. The waiting is difinitely tough, I have a hard time getting through the day when I take the test in the morning and see the doc in the afternoon (I'm not very patient with things like that). Regarding the mammo - I had my first one post surgery last year and was so worried about how it would hurt because I have been tender in that breast ever since my surgery. I explained my concerns to the technician and she was very gentle in running the test, even the tight "smashes" didn't feel too bad, hopefully the same will be true for you.
