Hi Caya,
I too know exactly how you feel. I just had post mammograms done July 13 (Friday the 13 no less). They called me back in for more films and said they saw something suspicious in the right breast, had lumpectomy on left breast. After reviewing previous films they said it was just overlapping tissue. My surgeon and onc also read the films and said all was fine.

The following week I had an appointment with my rad onc. She said they are always overly cautious on the first posts mams. So take a deep breath and try to relax.

Please let us know what you find out.
