Hi Bonnie. I think it is similar to the post about capsular contractures, in that so few people are on board who have had one done that it will be a while before you get any answer. The mammo is being done just to make sure there are no abnormal nodes showing up, and if there are, then ultrasound and biopsy would be done.

Marejo.... your post really brought back some of the same memories for me... ! I got the news over the phone too... and was happy to get referred, especially since from here I felt like I was light years away from any specialists. I too depended on a referral from a local doc. Six years ago...
