Hello again.
Final update...the office called at 8:14 this morning to let me know that as soon as the radiologist came in he looked at my mammo and declared it fine. They told me that they did have all the information that I had given about my surgery and treatment, but somehow things just didn't work right! What a story!!!
They told me to be sure to come to the main office next time (really) and to be sure to tell them that I need a diagnostic rather than a screening mammo. They said that they would do diagnostic screenings up to 3 years after surgery. Can you even believe that?
Oh, well.....
Good to know that it was clear, but I'll still be glad to get the next information in December from an MRI!
Thanks again for listening, ma
